Hi,

I'm trying to define which alien reptile species breed regularly or have bred within Great Britain. I currently have the following as self supporting;

Aesculapian Snake & Common Wall Lizard

With the following as have bred but are not self supporting;

Green Lizard, Dice Snake & European Pond Terrapin

I understand that Red-eared Terrapin may have bred but only with the help of heat lamps. Also I remember seeing somewhere that Green Lizard may now be self supporting in Bournemouth. Anyway comments and additions/corrections much appreciated

The Aesculapians are certainly self-supporting - the colony has been in existence for several decades, and there are specimens of all ages and sizes in the population.

Cheers,
