My wife has been trying unsuccessfully to get her BPs to breed for a few years in her classroom, they were 3 years old when we got them. We figured the room was too warm so this year we kept them at home and started to cool them at the middle of october. We introduced the male to the female mid december, and within a week they were locked up almost every time I checked on them. Then a few weeks went by and I didnt see them locked up anymore. Now again for the past few weeks they have been locking up regurally. At this point I really feel they have had to had a successful mateing, and am wondering what we do next? I have read to keep them together until feb and start warming them back up to normal temp after that. We have them in a CB110 rack and want to know what a suitable nestbox would be? I planned on using another tub inside with vermiculite or somthing that would hold moisture until she lays. My questions are, how long til she lays eggs, where do we put the nest box hot or cold side? Do we need to feed her after she warms up? The first year we had her ,got her in december, she had been put through a cooling cycle and did not eat for about 4 months, I kind of expect her to not want to eat.
Thx in advance, we really want the kids to see these puppies hatch in school!
