After nearly 4 months of waiting of the weather to be acceptable for safe shipping our new friends arrived today. It ended up being a 2.3 group of LTC Saharans. They were with their previous owner for 7 years. They have been housed together. They now live in 2 4X2X2 Showcase enclosures joined together with a 4 inch PVC pipe. They have already been moving about between the 2 enclosures using the tunnel. It is great to see them move all about. They seemed to have settled very quickly. We have seen a lot of mating behavior, with the 2 males doing their push-ups and head bobbing. One of the males was circling a female. They are very active.

In looking at 2 of the females, I am not positive they haven't already mated. I know they were brumated so anything is possible. Time will tell if any of the females are gravid or successful mating occurs. I have my fingers crossed.

I got photos of the males and one of the females. The other 2 were hiding or would not hold still when I had the camera out.

Male 1 (Triton)



Male 2 (Oberon)


A couple of the females. Do they look gravid to anyone??



Another female photo.

Those are really nice Saharans tim! Where did you get them from? I got the 2 pairs of leopards in this morning and 1 baby banded as well lol

Sorry for the long delay in replying Mike. We got them from a lady in SoCal. She had them for 6 years or so. She kept them primarily outdoors. She never found any eggs, but didn't look or try very hard to get them to breed successfully. We are hoping to get them going. We have had to put the separator in the cage. The smaller male was very aggressive towards the larger one. We will continue to try occasionally to integrate them, but they may have to live separate forever. Time will tell!!
