    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I walked into the klauberi room this morning and caught a pair of Black Range copulating. From what I observed it lasted nearly 7 hours, but it could have started before I first saw them.

Are the klauberi normally spring breeders?
I haven't kept that subspecies, I work with the lepidus myself, but mine usually copulate in the fall primarily. I have seen occasional copulation in the spring but I always considered that "late" since it was outside of the most common period.

Yes, klauberi are fall breeders, but it's not uncommon for them to hook up in Spring. Some believe that this means the female is not gravid and will not go this year. I rely heavily on Solenoglyph, who has tremendous amounts of klauberi breeding successes, invaluable klauberi knowledge, and an unselfish attitude in sharing klauberi husbandry techniques.

I was wondering that if due to their more montane natural habitat that they might be more inclined to be spring breeders. I do plan to add klauberi to my group in the future and am always glad to gain any new knowledge of them, especially with the relative scarcity of it.

You definitely have some outstanding specimens and I've enjoyed your posts.
To date I have only successfully reproduced the lepidus once so I do not consider myself to be "successful" with the species just yet. I've only been keeping them about five years though, a couple of which due to other issues breeding wasn't attempted.
This past season I nearly lost one of my adult females to retained slugs, but fortunately we were able to determine the problem in time and were able to save her.

I'd be very interested to see more posts from you, including your method of housing etc. I've found it to be unfortunately rare to locate other individuals with a specific interest in this group who have knowledge they are willing to share. Most of what little I have accomplished to date has just been by means of trial and error trying to figure out what works on my own.
