: yep....

males get 3 foot...female 4

breed in one year (male)..female 18 months no problem...

eggs every 60 days....hatch in 73...

6 to 10 average...

eggs do NOT stick together...

eggs are tough....

keep warm all year....breed all year...6 clutch possible....

males really breed hard...really alot of "mess" afterwards...(looks like they are stuck forever)..

males will die from lack of food,,,want to breed all the time...

eat like pigs...even newborns usually...

sell for 12$ wholesale to $20.....shows/stores...$26 -to- $50.......

I got eggs Dec 23,,,more Jan 25th I think...hatched some first week in Jan too...always some eggs here....(4 females)...
(I get 4 average litters a yr...I forget to put in males)(even though they will lay good eggs without a male the next time...mine don't usually hold sperm)...

.....anyways.....

have fun
