Hi folks, This is a young pair of trilins, currently these animals are being reared indoors until their new enclosure is ready in my greenhouse, take a look at my pics of the greenhouse.  |

Hi all, Do you think the Trilineata's will be ok in a open outdoor enclosure year round?  |

Yes they should be fine, obviously it depends on the climate eg. if you live in siberia it would be quite a bad idea. Creating a glass covered area will provide a hotspot where the animals can bask but if the whole enclosure is covered they cannot receive the uv light they need for correct Vitamin d3 synthesis.
I have kept them in greenhouses with pains removed but know others with groups in open terraria many of these are based in the south of england though where the climate is approximately 5* warmer year round than up north!!!

Your green lizards are very nice but they are very dull in colour, i would recomend you get them out into unfiltered sunlight and not in the greenhouse. you would be suprised how quickly they will turn vibrent green also feed your live food on lots of greens and veg so the carotene etc is passed onto the lizards.

Has anyone hatched Trilineata in an open enclosure, i plan to pull the eggs and incubate them, but i just wondered if anyone had missed some eggs and found them hatch out in there enclosure.

I have not bred this species yet but i dare say unless the temp of the incubation site is around 27*C they wouldn't do so good. I know Lacerta bilineata and Podarcis muralis are breeding and incubating eggs in the wild on bournemouth cliffs. This may be of interested to you. I believe that the two mentioned species occur in similar latitudes to us in nature and therefore are well suited to a cooler climate, trilins however have a smaller distribution than these which occurs in climes with hot summers.
A friend in romania has seen them in his garden at a similar temp to us so i could be possible. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, i've just got out of bed.
