i think the amount of animals that spontaneously breed in the zoo is a testament to the incredible care emily and ed take of them. they are so confident that there are enough resources and comfortable enough in your habitats that they know they are safe to reproduce

[@angelcollina]

This is SUCH a good point every time it’s brought up. Mating behavior is just something that is very dependent on several factors and if critters aren’t getting what they need from an environment, it is difficult to get them to breed. (Humans are also kinda the same way, just more complex.)

[@Jessica-ov4dj]

Incubation time is ~50 days according to a scientific article in Reptiles & Amphibians 29:1-78 by Alvand Mohammadalizadegan and Pourya Sardar. They incubated European Legless Lizard eggs in Perlite (3 eggs at 85% humidity, 28 degrees C) in one container and a screen over water (4 eggs at 95% humidity, 27 degrees C) in the other. 4 of the eggs molded out, but 1 hatched from the first group, 2 from the second.

[@NomicFin]

I figured it had to be something related to temperature variations, as they live in parts of the world where there's a large seasonal difference in temperatures. Like they'd have to have their enclosure's temperature lowered at fall before brumating them to simulate the natural change in seasons. Seems that assumption was on the right track.

[@darcieclements4880]

I really appreciate that they do this. Somebody else did actually post something on how they were triggering legless lizards to reproduce last year I want to say, but I'm having trouble finding it again. That said oftentimes what will happen in these early stages is somebody will have it work for them but then no one else is able to reproduce it because they're missing something. So every person who has a reproduction event needs to basically be reporting it. However the number one problem with the species from what I've heard is that they tend to lay on viable eggs when they do lay which seems to be what happened here. I do wish they had been tracking humidity throughout the year on that enclosure because there's a darn good chance that's a component though I'm sure having the group living situation also helped quite a bit. I've also heard it hypothesize that there may actually be more than one species that aren't very compatible with each other genetically but look alike complicating matters. I have no idea where the research on that hypothesis is at but given how wide of a range this species has and how patchy it is across the strange it wouldn't shock me.

[@cvw5287]

Also talk to Tarronga Zoo in Australia. They brumated at 4*C. They didn't mention how they incubated the eggs, though they got 6 eggs and all hatched successfully. Emily and Ed, you've joined the ranks of a very select few and you don't have their Cadre of professionals and researchers. This shows how amazing you with your husbandry and depth of knowledge. Looking forward to seeing headlines next year about you getting hatchlings!

Smithsonian zoo too and they are sold at Hamm and some european fairs. Looks like these have been bred by a fair few people now but not loads. Definitely more than the two though.

[@katbairwell]

Was just getting ready to say this too! IIRC they actually brumated theirs, and hatched a male? I remember sending to link to anyone in the hobby that I knew had an interest in them, mostly non-creators, with hopes that we could see a captive breeding program get kickstarted. I would *love* to keep these, but I would never knowingly buy a wild-caught animal, so I'm super, super excited that Emily & Ed are seeing a glimmer of hope for the species' future!!

There is research on the successful captive incubation of the clutch of the European glass lizard. I recommend you to read a research paper from 2022 by Oleg V. Kukushkin called “An experience of captive incubation of the clutch of the European glass lizard (Reptilia: Sauria: Anguidae), with notes on its reproductive biology” (DOI: 10.30906/1026-2296-2022-29-3-169-186). For those who want to know without reading the paper: they hatched 7 out of 7 eggs in 2019, it took 60 days and they incubated eggs with the mother to observe her behaviour. Look up the paper for some cute pictures (Fig.5 and 6) of baby lizards :)

In the first few minutes her voice goes deeper then high several times. I watch behavior analyst channels and when people are really excited their voice changes pitch. Emily is being very sincere but in behavior analysis, a liar will change their pitch. In liars its because they are excited about getting away with lying to you. In Emily, its because she is so happy. Which is why this is such a nice video. Emily is not acting, she really feels joyful about what she is doing.

If you want to check for sources in other languages (yay for auto translation) to check on different European sources, the German words to check for are "Nachzucht" (re-breeding in context of captivity) and "Panzerschleiche" (different colloquial name for Sheltopusik, Pseudopus apodus).

[@djedsystem]

There's the legless lizard eggs, which as explained in the video are difficult to get. Then there's the golden garter snake which started as a morph found in two specific snakes in the wild that they wound up reproducing in captivity, thus creating an entire new morph in garter snakes in the breeding community. I can't find the video again to ensure I'm remembering this last one correctly, but I'm pretty sure they got a spontaneous albino morph in a clutch of eggs that wasn't previously linked to the albino gene, I think it was in hognoses. But it basically introduced an entirely new bloodline into the genetic pool which allows for more genetic diversity. I am fairly certain I'm remembering this event, I just don't know if the species or gene is correct so feel free to dig around for that one.

Best season of the year When you think all the eggs were laid ✨ there comes more ✨ Edit: it went bad, but I'm so happy to see that they are raised in such a good condition that they are showing breeding behavior, honestly guys this is so awesome

may be helpful, a live in area where Anguis fragilis live, and we have mostly loam and clay and for some reason mostly i saw them in area where forest with dense moss touch meadow with tall grass, also all critters like to lay eggs in holes after fallen spruces probably becouse where tree falls it will make soil in that hole quite soft and usaually is more sandy then rest of soil. you should make trip to europe to see how this looks like, our terrain is wastly diffrent then american one

Wow congrats! This is a testament to your excellent husbandry.

I really think you should have kept the other egg until, cause you said you dont know what it should look like👀🤔

[@FirstLast-ks6vm]

No WAY! This is so cool, I didn't think you'd ever get eggs from your legless lizards!

I wonder if the mom would have more success laying good eggs if she stayed in her regular enclosure since she was happy enough there to get gravid in the first place? Or would they eat the eggs?
