yes. hopefully in about 40 days there will be eggs. all the parts seem to be in the right places. i guess the eggs will tell the tale though. I have been placing him in with her daily the past week. They have been copulating daily. This morning the female was not receptive to the male. I am hoping this is a good sign. Will go shopping for an egg chamber this evening. will see if i can get these photos to work

here they are

She really did turn orange didn't she.
I can't wait see what hatches.
Good luck with them.

Have been away for a bit. returned to find 13 eggs laid on the 14th - all look healthy - in sphagum moss @ about 80 degrees. Female went from 420g to 237 asfter laying - ouch. They are stuck together in a circular pattern - will not be seperating them. Keep your fingers crossed - really hope these hatch.
