Rick, What happened to the wild caught DBTs that you tried to keep. Did they get sick or not eat or what? I have 3 wild caught Ornates that I received a year ago this month. They have all thrived. My larger female in the group layed 3 clutches this summer and I have 4 babies from her (there were several unfertile eggs). The other female gained over 600 grams since I got her. She is actually larger now than the female that layed the 3 clutches. When I got them they hadn’t been out of the wild for even 2 weeks. Fortunately I won’t be getting any more w.c. dbts as I have a great base for a breeding group now. How long did it take your babies to reach breeding size? Vickie
