I keep the adults outside all year. : : In South Carolina the winters are mild, but I give them a heated enclosure (4'x2'). : : Their pen is 10'x8' and is shaded by some large trees. There are always some spots during : : the day that get direct sun. In november of 96 the female laid 2 eggs. Yesterday she : : laid another. They mate frequently. This year they are more active and putting on more : : growth than last year. The only change is I have a better supply of weeds to feed them! : : I've let a part of the yard "go wild". Hope this helps!
