Hi,

My female laid two fertile clutches last year but I don't think she has this year. I haven't noticed any significant gravid behaviour, she continually grazes and eats in the garden.

Thanks everyone. I will look at the 80 or 100w for the hatchlings then. I'll probably try Arcadia first if I have similar issues I will give the megaray a go.
