Well the weather in southern England has turned hotter than ever,apparently 30c ,so we have gone from winter to summer in a week.
On a brighter note my P.m.nigriventis have laid eggs.Hopefully they will hatch and I will be looking for someone to swap some youngsters with.

How true Chris.On the strength of that I bought some Fire Salamanders today,just in time for the heatwave On a brighter note one of my strigata laid six eggs today Its interesting to note that they seem active at lower temperatures than my other Lacertids;D

I have put half the glass back on my large vivariums tto try to keep the rain off a little bit.I was going to put my Gallotia outside this year but have given up on that.
As you say Rob ,I am more worried about getting food into the existing lizards to get them through the winter.

I dont know Chris,perhaps someone who has kept them for longer than me can answer that.However,my gut reaction would be no,I dont think that you will get them into breeding condition again this year.
The problem that we are not getting much sun here ,my plants in the greenhouse are not growing.I dont think that bringing them into a greenhouse would help much.

I tend to agree Chris.I have had small clutches from two of my exigua but my bilineata seem way off.One of my females hasn`t shed since she emerged from hibernation!

As a hatching medium.I have always used vermiculite but is there any advantage in using perlite.I know that it is a dry medium and it has been recommended to me by snake keepers. Your thoughts please.

I didn`t keep the Spring Peepers outside,this was thirty plus years ago and it wasn`t really done then,except for tortoises.I used to keep Green Lizards and Wall Lizards in aquaria with incandescant light bulbs.If only I had known.

Interesting.To answer my own question I had some young bilineata in with some young muralis as i thought that the muralis would be agile enough to move out of the way of the bilineata.Well thery weren`t and both muralis have lost their tails so I have removed them.

Does anyone here in the U.K. put their Gallotia outside in the summer?I have some G.g.eisentrauti and think that they will benefit from some proper summer sun.
