Re: DBT Conservation?
Phil, I have 3 adult pairs of dbts 3 are captive the others are wild caught. I will NOT get any more wild ones. At this time I have 17 dbts altogether. I am trying to build a small breeding group. I have 3 captive juvenile males from a female I no longer have and the rest of the eggs I have been incubating for females. I set the incubator at 86 degrees having been successful at that temp. I am not sure however that one or two from this summers group might not be male. Their tails seems a bit thick. All of my dbts are macrospilota. They vary from pink heads to dark gray heads. Most are light gray. I expect this next summer will see me overwhelmed with babies as I had 26 eggs from 2 females. The 3rd female will probably start laying next summer. So I will probably sell some next summer if all goes well. Vickie
