I've noticed in the last day or so the my normally shy and largely un-seen adult female Sunglow has been cruising her viv, shoving things around and braving the likes of me staring at her through the glass. This is very unlike her to be restless and visible to us humans. It occurred to me today that my large oscillating fan may be blowing the scent of my Okeetee boy towards her viv. Could she be restless because his scent is permeating the area? In coordination with this, my male has been pretty restless for a couple weeks.
The female is 3-4 years old and the male is 4 years. Both are healthy, great eaters (I follow the Munson Plan for the most part) and definitely big enough for breeding. I acquired this pair earlier this year from an experienced keeper and was told that they had not ever been bred. Both have recently shed, so I don't think the cruising has much to do with that.
So, the second part to my question is... Is it "too late" to let them breed this season, if they are both willing? I have the time, knowledge and supplies to take care of the gravid female, eggs and hatchlings- many thanks to this forum for the knowledge part!
Please be honest in your answers. I won't be disappointed if it turns out that I should wait. I wasn't planning on breeding them this year because I figured that with their relocation some months ago would disrupt the cycle. But hey, if they want to, and I get responses to go ahead, I would love to have some baby cornies this year!
