Hi folk, i have 4 of these and one pair have been sexed as male and female, I'm looking on tips for breeding these in captivity.

Has anyone on here ever been successful in breeding these in captivity outside of the US ?​
Any conditioning tips other than feeding well - I've wintered my pair at lower temps over the UK winter from December to the end of January (would of been longer if not for work commitments).​
Breeding season from around late August / September if I remember correctly​
What is the mature / adult size for males and females - mine are roughly 7" body length​
Any help / tips very much appreciated​

Definitely been done before, what I'd do is put "heros" in the search bar and read every thread for clues, but most of the desert species are fairly easy to breed

Right now is the laying season supposedly. I have a 7" female on eggs right now, another 8" female suspect on eggs. Both WC and not bred by me however.
