yes, that was my post that Jeremy replied to with a ton of great info and ideas.
I am hoping the main problem was with the temps. I have my adults in a stack of boaphiles with flexwatt heat tape running up the back on one side. I was getting some big temp flux, so I added the big apple thermostat and that stabalized it.
The female seemed to 'hold' the sperm (male stopped mating with her) for almost a month, when I notched up the temps she ovulated less than a week later.
I think I will add a heat pad in with my gravid females in addition to the more ambient heat from the heat tape that way they get actual 'belly heat'.
thanks!
