A Wonderful Year - Mandarina Moments

[Lexcorn]

Thank you for all of your kind compliments folks it's certainly appreciated.

Ya,

I have to admit to a certain 'inflated head' when I speak of these 'guys' to my friends & aquaintances as they are not an easy species to breed.

A successful large clutch is, often, unusual. Apparently the clutch size is more around the 3 - 4 ratio.

So, allowing the extra years to mature the female has certainly paid off!

The female had no trouble in regaining her body weight, therefore, I may have a chance at another excellent clutch in 2009.

Thanks again.

Lex

Alright Lexcorn, thought the user name looked familiar. Congrats on the successful hatchlings. Stunning wee specimens

Thanks fergie

These guys are all eating real well, but, as they are not a large species the hatchlings are small. This gives me the option of keeping more animals as the space issue is not a problem.

Oh dear, I can see there are many 'keepers' again this year!
