the two they produced in April are thriving, seen here sleeping in the sun after eating about a kilo of snails:

I haven't caught these two at it yet, they are a lot shyer this time of year. the female has noticeable scuffing/scarring on her shoulders, so I am hoping these northern SA's produce a litter for the first time this season.
