Chilled out.

Blood on the dancefloor in the parietalis tub . Looks like their honeymoon met with success during the night.
Light spotting of blood in the carefresh and some residual blood on Fawn's vent. Slithers curled up in the corner, completely disinterested and possibly exhausted/afterglowy .
I brought the girls up gradually to 18C yesterday prior to introducing the warmed up males (20C). Slithers started to follow Fawn around like a lovesick puppy straight away.
Nothing definate to report from the radix as yet. J does seem to find Suzy interesting. Their spending time together but I can't report any tell-tale clues as yet .
Keeping them all paired until tomorrow. Then planning further introductions for the radix on a weekly basis and I'll give the parietalis another shot in a couple of weeks.

Looks like babies are going to be on the way at your place.

Here's hoping

Interesting observation - Fawn has been spending the evenings in the waterbowl and the daytimes on the heat. I wonder if this is a reflection on behaviour in the wild? Where night time temps would naturally still be low and warrant seeking water for temperature control.
Just a thought

Water absorbs heat during the day and loses it very slowly at night. I think this is why some snakes will do that. The water can be warmer than the surrounding air at night.

Well there all back in general population now .... it's nice to see them in their place again
