Hi Guys,
So I’ve had this female Sulcata for nearly 15 years and she’s around 50 or 60 years old best guess. She was living alone for the majority of her life and 2 years ago I introduced two young males (around 12-15 years old).
They immediately showed interest and that same year she laid 6 clutches. The following year (this year) they had also bred multiple times and she was due to start laying in January but so far she has shown no signs of laying behavior. What worries me is that she is actually spending most of the day in the large pond that we have in there and the problem is that it’s winter and the temperature in the morning is around 70 (20c) and reaching 80-82 (26-28c) in the afternoon.
She litteraly goes in the water in the early morning and sits there all day long..
Both males sunbathe all day long which is what I would expect from them at this time of year..
Any ideas as to why she would be doing this?
