2013 -Time to Wake up!

[monkeyboy]

Finally a proper sunny spell in the south west! Monday saw 2 of my Wall lizards tempted out (they have been out on bright days over winter but this was for prtracted basking session).

Thought it was a good chance to try out xmas pressy, a laser thermometer.

In an air temp of 9 degC, house wall was 17 degC. Male Wall was basking on a sheltered branch in full sun, which had a surface temp of 21 degC, his back was reading 27 degC. Pretty fantastic demonstration of thermoregulation. Both animals were very active and even feeding.

My male bilineata were up today plus my male muralis.Lets hope that the weather is on the change for the better.

Same here,
I've had my male bill out for the last week due to the good weather we have had and yesterday a female made a brief appearance. Still keeping my fingers crossed for the rest ! Nothing is interested in feeding though.

Well everything that should be out is out.I have seen mating activity with my bilineata but its later than ever.I suppose its better late than never.

I find it amazing your bilineata are only now showing signs of mating as I already have eggs in the incubator. where are you? are yours out in the open or behind glass.

[viridis]

Mine are all outside in glass sided vivaria with open tops.Up until the last week its been cold and wet here,especially at night.Temperatures have been down to 7 or 8 c at night.

I live in the Chilterns about tghirty miles from central London.

Whereabouts are you?

[lizzerd]

Mine are in a greenhouse, the roof glass was not removed until the end of may this year normally its removed around mid to late april depending on weather. I am north west Leicestershire. I have a pair of eyed that have shown no signs of mating yet so maybe its not to late
