Breeding

Breeding is done in the warmer month with introducing males to females in the spring.
after there cooling period of 2 to 3 months this cooling period is called Brumation.
Food should be offered more often when breeding and more calcium for the females to ensure healthy live young
When ready to breed the male will start to head bob , and chasing the female around the enclosure then biting her on the back of her neck in an aggressive manner this is not fighting so don't separate them.Male will combat will other male during this time and it can be to the death.
Once mating is well and truly over remove the males back to there enclosure as they are likely to kill the young when born ,
the young water skinks are normally born in Late January to February
