I never left the male/female together. I introduced the female 4 weeks ago and bam the male bred with her. For the next three weeks I introduced the female into the males cage, and they bred. Until she decided that she had enough about 2 weeks later. Since she has fed and had bowel movements and showed no sign of anything wrong. Then Bam! she is DOA. I have 2 other pairs of pyro pyro and 2 pairs of Knobs and they are fine so far...(Keep fingers crossed. There has been nothing different in their husbandry at all just "Sudden Death". Shes frozen now and I will be taking her to the university for an autopsy to see if we can figure it out.

PS I could feel 4 eggs after her death( was tempted to see if they would survive after a c-section but decided against opening up) Just crazy!
