Hi,the only thing I know they need hibernation for successful breeding during 2-3 winter months. The temps should be about 12-15C. The matings usually occur in March -April. The females lay 6-10 eggs. At 28-30C incubation lasts 30-45 days. Hatchlings accept insects, earthworms and pinkies. Hope it helps. Good luck.
