hrs actually got her just in front of leg,but does get legs at times,i normally try seperating if he does,big boy does need a nail trim,being on paper doesnt help,the rest arent to bad,they have basking rocks and sand substrate that helps keep nails in check

[BruinsEv]

Poor lass has her arm caught. The behaviours are really interesting. You really catch the money shots Also, they needs pedicures.

The "money" shots are a little intense for me, but all the surrounding pictures are so interesting that it makes up for it for me haha.

[Richard.C]

haha,sorry bout money shots,i remember the question being asked of it in the past,eg does it mean he missed or something,and is expelling the norm,with this lot it is 100 percent the norm so far

thought that may be of interest

[James Wilson]

Wow, a lot of awesome photos of some really nice skinks. That being said, a few of those had some hardcore XXX stuff going on there . Either way, I think I will skip dinner tonight .

havnt got down to them for a few days,last time big boy wasnt interested but the young male covered his lass again,prince regent lasses window seems shut,other 2 may be now to,will try tomoz and see

well the young male and his lass still have the window ajar,lol

big male seems to need coaxing,female seems to be doing the here i am mr behaviour to get him in the mood,ifs quite cool today,perhaps its the coolness that mellows the male

[Richard.C]

he finally clicked into gear and persued the female,but after 5 mins of trying to secure her gave up and resumed basking,left female in anfd had dinner so not sure he tried again,its odd for him to need female to fire him up,each tine hes been basking,so perhaps cold weather makes basking more important

young male mated the female again today

20120807_155222.jpg

tried the fiesty lass with the big male,he was to busy trying to shed,but did evenrually grab her,but gave up after a cpl of minutes of persuing her,so popped young prince regent lass in and he went straight for her,so her window isnt shut yet like i presumed,she was succsessfully mated

[Richard.C]

so 20 day window so far for prince regent lass

has anyone had a male mate twice in a day or more with northerns,i only get an hour or 2 window to try each time i get down to them,sometimes more,the young male always seems keen but doesnt try after the first time,blotcheds in comprison can do it multiple times,they are usually quite persistant

[Fatal_S]

I don't have much experience, but my Northerns are once-a-day breeders. It really sucks since I only have 1 good breeder male and several females to breed. I finally understand why having lots of males is important.

[Richard.C]

yeah starting to think a few males could be handy

finally got some video up,havnt sussed how to link it on here yet but its on u tube if u search for kimberley serenade,yesterdays mating between big boy and prince regent lass is there

pencil in another mating today for the young male and his partner for this season

20120808_153007.jpg

big male was tried with both the other females,wasnt showing interest then looked like he was going to poop and dropped a sperm plug

20120808_160532.jpg

bout ten minutes later clicked into gear and mated the fiesty lass

windows still open for prince regent lass,only caught the end and release as was taking pics of the young male and his lass

20120812_152702.jpg

[Richard.C]

So 25 day window for prince regent lass so far,might be the cold nights prolonging it

of interest today was males willingness to mate after a few days off,he grabbed her out of my hand before i put her down,skipping a day or 2 seems to fire males up more

[Richard.C]

20120815_150709.jpg

big male covered the lass that had 16 babies again today,didnt try prince regent lass as this lass i wanted a cpl more matings

the young male also covered his lass again,no pics as i was watching big male,he gets rough with this lass,shes quite fiesty,of note,she tried expelling for quite some time today,even after going back to her cage,havnt noticed that before

[Richard.C]

20120819_173855.jpg

Big boy covered prince regent lass again after a few days off,thought his interest in her would be over by now,i placed fiesty lass in after that and hes keen,following,chin rubbing but not latching on,these northerns are one hit wonders,some blotchies go many times over a day,fiesty lass was interested to but hes mojo levels are shot,lol

Young males light had blown,so needs warming up,see what happens uf he gets up to temp
