Brumation should not be necessary, though apparently it's not harmful either. If you go to a weather website and look at a high altitude location in Cosat Rica, like San Jose, there is no seasonal variation in temperature... it's lows around 70, highs around 80 year round. That close to the equator, the days and nights are always about the same length, too. I didn't do anything special with my gaigeae last spring; in fact, I had planned to wait another year to breed just to be on the safe side. But, the female swelled up with ova, and the male went off feed... they were big enough, so I let them go at it. I put them together about 5 or 6 times over the course of 2 weeks, and got a perfect clutch of 6 eggs, no slugs. Maybe yours just weren't ready last year... what was their age and size?
