Wow how exciting! congratulations
Just wondering - how old was your iberia when she bred (and how old was the male?). Just curious as one day I'm hoping to breed mine (when I'm brave enough to try it!)

oh wow so the male was quite a bit younger? My male is SOOOO much bigger and older than my female (11 and 40+) that I would worry he might hurt her.

Thank you
Males mature alot sooner than females and an sexualy active male could really damage a young female

Yeah that's why I've kept them apart. My male is rather forward when it comes to that sort of thing! He's already damaged quite a few pairs of shoes and a terracotta pot so I won't let him anywhere near her until she's a lot bigger I think! Maybe I'll have to put any ideas of breeding on hold he he he
