Hi Jobi,
Are those baby G. Doriae in the pics? You've bred them?
It's interesting, my friend's suggestion for eggs was 73F for 3-4 months. A zoo account had the eggs at 85F for about 2 months.
Is the daytime-nighttime change important for their health and development? Is there higher mortality or weaker babies from using a constant temperature?
Also, the females are ready to lay, and one has laid one egg. That was 5 days ago. If you have any hints for inducing egglaying I'd appreciate it, I'm getting a bit worried.
Any advice on set-up would be very helpful too. I am planning to build a new enclosure for them with running waterfall, mist/fog system, etc. Do they need a lot of ventilation? It would be great to see any pic of your set-ups or just describe how you set them up.
More - UV important? And food, besides crickets and superworms?
Thanks for your help I really want them to survive and grow up like yours did, to the next generation!
Michael
