. . . oh, I forgot to mention - One of my young female radiata laid eggs a couple months ago, and an experienced fellow in Northern California agreed to incubate them for me (I know nothing about diapause). So four eggs are with him. Then two weeks ago she laid another clutch of four. The NorCal fellow will be driving this way on his way south to a reptile show in Southern California, and he'll pick up this batch on his way home next week-end.
This female radiata is probably about 10 years old. I've had her for 7 years and she was not quite full grown when I got her. She's in with two other females same size and an older male.
So I guess I lied when I said I had nothing new to talk about, as this is rather exciting news. I've got my fingers crossed that some of the eggs are fertile (it's real hard to rake leaves or vacuum with crossed fingers, so I'm not getting much yardwork or house work done these days!!).
