T.h.hercegovinensis

Hi all, Has any one bred these little hermanns T.h.hercegovinensis.

**egyptiandan64** · 04-04-2010, 02:34 PM

As have I

As far as breeding, they aren't any different than the other subspecies. They lay clutches like T.h.hermanni, 2 to 3 eggs a clutch. I have had a few 4 egg clutches though.

I'm finding I get 3 or 4 clutches a year on average. I have though had a female lay 6 clutches.

Hi i was lucky enough to hatch a baby Hercegovinensis on New Years Day he was the only fertile egg out of 5. I was hoping to hatch him a sister from another clutch of eggs but sadly she passed away before she hatched the other week.

Hi Jeff,

Still looking for a male to go with my girls but thought I'd post a few pic's of mine to show the colour variation, my Hercegovinensis are very light compared to Helsbels'.
