Mating and laying

[Kristina]

Aproximately how long after successful copulation will a female Redfoot lay eggs?

I have my four adults separated into two enclosures. The male hadn't shown any interest in the females that I had seen, but my husband heard suspicious wheezing noises the other day, and yup, it was finally happening, lol. I am thinking about putting Romero in with the other two girls long enough to breed them a couple of times, and just curious when they might show nesting behavior?

Its hard for me to say exactly as my adults are kept together year 'round. But when a new female has been introduced to the breeding group and successful mating has occurred, it seems to be around 6 weeks (give or take) before she lays eggs.

Great, thank you both.

I think Romero is going to make a little trip over to the other enclosure for a couple of days
