A few weeks ago I bought a pair of calote versicolor lizards from a reptile show. I assumed I had two females since the males are supposed to have blue heads and they were both brown, but the very next day the larger of the two started changing blue and it is now very bright and constant.

This would not be a problem, but it seems she is already gravid right now (She has at least three large longish bulges at her stomach that are hard to the touch) and I am not sure about what temp the eggs would need to be incubated at, how long the gestation period is... The only info I have found states that 10-20 eggs will be laid in damp soil and that incubation is 6 to 7 weeks. But at what temps?
I am very glad to have found I got a male and female. But I'm a little worried about the eggs and her because she was a little thin when I got her.
Any info on the breeding of these guys would be helpful. They are known by several other names:
Changeable lizard
Bloodsucker lizard
Crested tree lizard
Garden fence lizard
Oriental garden lizard
