Thanks...All our breeding reptiles are kept outdoors. Very hard (not impossible) to get them to breed in an indoor set up.....we have a square above ground "pit" set-up under a plum tree and a green gage tree....that way during the fruiting season, they get all teh fruit dropping from the trees.

I've got a question! In our school books we learned that reptiles independent of the specie put eggs...This seems to be exceptional case. So this become a Reptile that is a mammal...and this makes me think in the evolution theory, thinking that this maybe the next step for the species who use eggs as a birth method...Would this be a reptile anyway? Sorry for my ignorance

@Telmoserrano

Very good question......This particular footage was taken in Tasmania (Australia) which is generally the coldest state of Australia.....As we don't reach a consistant temperature sufficient to allow any reptiles to incubate their eggs, they have adapted to being live bearers (this includes our 3 species of snakes). We only have 2 species of lizards that are egg laying species here. All bluetongue lizards in Australia are live bearers.

Many species of lizards lay eggs and incubate....however, many also have live births.

Here in Tasmania we only have 2 species of "lizard' that lays eggs....mainly due to adaption because of our cold climate....the incubation temperature required for many species does not occur in Tasmania, hence live bearing lizards and snakes.

@TassieTigers I see...Adjusting to survive, and as a matter of fact i cant remember any reptile living on a cold weather, maybe this type of nature fitting would brake that chain of events!It's amazing, it's actually one valuable proof in favor of the Evolution theory! Btw , Nice video post, make ppl think!
