In the night from 15th to the 16th I found my P. flavomaculatus girls on more than 10 eggs.
So Mario - you become a granddad





Der Papa, als er noch klein war.

i love it!!!
thats about the best news i have had since a while..
Congratulation Jörg!

nice to see, at least somebody was following my advices. first P.flavomaculatus eggs since ages in Europe i believe.
well, dont be so happy... its not over yet, long not over!

dont you remove the eggs, under no circumstances! leave them with the female for about 5-6 weeks... dont mind the look the eggs will have in 2-3 weeks, (they ugly, like retic eggs, just before hatching).

also raising the babies is quite a challenge i can tell you. but one by one, step by step - and i am proud!
thanks for giving me such nice news!


cheers
and good luck!
Mario

Bravo!!!!I fell happy like you when I see people who work very hard with animals and has results like this
My Regards !!

Congratulation!!! It really is a nice result. As Mario wrote, everything just started, but getting eggs is always the most important thing. Now we all have just pray enough for you to have babies hatched soon... Btw, Mario, how long is incubation of eggs among this species?

All the best,
Peter

Thanks Vangelis.
But Mario is right - The Babies aren´t thera allready, long way to go.

Nevertheless I´m very happy to reach this phase of breeding Parias flavomaculatus.

That's simply great!
Good luck in the further development of the eggs. We all hope the best.

Parias flavomaculatus as well as Parias mcgregori have a quite short incubation time. our "fastest" eggs hatched after only 40 days. the middle would be 45-47 days, at 28°C and 85% humidity, nighttime a bit cooler in more humid of corse.

jörg - it all started with having a fertile clutch of eggs! you (or the animals) has accomplished this - now the next step will be hatching them... then - we will talk about raising the babies.


it will be good! its a very nice success, as folks in europe still believe the "philippinos" are un-breed-able, which is as far from the truth as i can be.

very well done jörg! you will be successful, i am certain about it.


cheers
Mario

Concratulations Jörg. This is no mean feat dude

Hope u will reach the next level.

One of the finest things I could ever observe.
In my opinion she does an active breeding of the eggs.
Not in the way pyhtons do, but she cover the eggs more or less.

Thanks Peter for the article.
After all I tried to feed my girl too and it worked fine.
Like allways in life, something has to go wrong and in this case my borrowed cam fucked up.
But I don´t want to hide the result of this action.

Nice, very interesting...
In this way the female could have enough of energy for whole incubation of eggs... Am looking forward for next progress....

Hi Jörg,


take a look what happened in my flavo-land!


5 year old Parias flavomacuatus female delivered 11 eggs last night!


i dont intend to breed this species this year as i have still yearlings from last year - but you see "eggs happen"...


cheers
Mario

Best Regards
Vangelis

Wow, what for a wunderful mom. I wish everybody all the best for the breeding-process.
