I didn't see you respond to wether or not this is the first year at attempting to breed. At any rate I can only offer my own experience. I kept a pair of Jungles on a soil based enclosure. I never witnessed copulation but I saw the male aroud the feamle quite a lot. Once I noticed the female changing habits I beagan researching temps and such. I had a hide box on the floor of the enclosure, and to my suprise one day I peeked in the box and there she was coiled around thirteen eggs. I imeadiatly set up my tempature probe inside the box which controlled a space heater in the room. I also mounted a flourescent light just outside the hide box to help maintain temps during the day. I misted the soil daily. It was quite interesting to see that sometimes the female would leave the eggs to explore the enclosure and the male would investigate and guard the eggs. Anyway the eggs looked quite shriveled and dry and I thought this was a waiste of time and then upon checking the hide box I saw several little heads peering at me from slits in the eggs. I was excited, all thirteen eggs hatched! I have to give credit to someone that gave me advice to let the female take care of the eggs and not to incubate. I later sold the pair and they bred again for the new owner but they incubated the eggs and had less than a 100% hatch rate. I would be patient, maybe next year is the year. Also do you maintain the pair together year round or not? I kept mine together, I've read many times to seperate. Good luck!
