Poor egg production | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 7 | | Other Comments: The various populations of elberti vary in their ease of keeping. Diang seems to like stability - it can breed at 18 or at 23, but it doesn't seem to do well when the temperature moves a lot. It also likes subdued lighting, and tends to eat eggs it can find (check mops often). | | Date this record created: 17th June 2005 | Breeding date: 7th June 2003 | | Breeder: Gary | Location: Montreal Qc Canada |
