Hi Kevin. I remember you, of course. Welcome back!

Hi from Connecticut!

darn it
it seems they have very different egg needs from other lizards
I've already had to toss two clutches
what lizards are you currently keeping other than the lacertas and ameivas (I'm assuming you still keep those)?

No, no more ameivas
Only working with the lacertids now. They are very fun to work!
Just for kicks here's some pictures

Very nice looking setup. How do you handle the rain situation?
I would love to have outside enclosures for some of my radixes but with the Summer heat(100+), heavy rains,
ultra high humidity and predators(opossum,raccoon,feral cats) make it impossible to do anything within reason.

I have tarps to throw over the enclosures when there's the possibility of rain.
I'm working on plans right now to design basically a box that the cages will sit on ( well fastened too) that will be insulated with styrofoam and then filled with 10 inches (25 cm) of dirt for the upcoming winter so they can have deep burrows to protect them. This plan should also help protect them from any rain as well should I not be home to cover them.
All of these concerns are still several months away.

I used to have one that looked like this one, but mine was mostly blue:

Very Nice, I have 4 of them. They are hatchlings so I'm impatiently waiting for their green to develop, but even as hatchlings they have nice blue spots
