Oh and my male and my big female mated on the 23rd. They were hooked up for about four and a half hours (last year's mating with a different female lasted exactly as long) and spent roughly half of that time in the water dish, which is something the mom's breeder told me her parents had done.

Anyway, I filmed about 65 minutes worth of footage from that event. I'll be uploading a 10 minute clip of it some time after the 11th.

So, in 60-120 days, I hope to have an extra 10-12 mouths to feed.
