Orange Coast Arboreal News
September 21, 2025 - It’s been an eventful week here at Orange Coast Arboreals! Sapphiron ovulated, and I’m really hopeful for a clutch of fertile eggs this season and for Nefarian to prove out. Sindragosa also passed three retained slugs from last year—after palpation showed no more issues, I’m optimistic she’s finally in the clear and ready for future pairings. As for Sinestra, the boys haven’t shown much interest yet, but with her next shed cycle coming up, I’m expecting that to change soon!

September 9, 2025 - Sapphiron has been off food for two weeks now and has been spending more time basking beneath the heat panel. Fingers crossed we’ll see an ovulation in the coming weeks!🤞🙏
August 25, 2025 - Pairing season has officially kicked off here at Orange Coast Arboreals! A couple of pairs are already locked up, and I’m planning to start a third pairing once Sinestra finishes her next shed. Really hoping for something productive this year — the chondro gods know I could use the luck! 🙏🤞
February 8, 2025 - Despite our best efforts, the recent breeding project has unfortunately failed. After administering oxytocin shots, no further egg deposition occurred, but the female seems to be acting completely normal. She’s been perching comfortably and even took a meal, indicating she’s doing well overall. We'll continue monitoring her. Stay tuned for updates!
Sindragosa receives the 2nd dose of oxytocin.
