gravid female

alieliza Nov 27, 2003 02:29 PM

I understand that a gravid female has to be given extra calcium and needs to be fed more in order to keep the weight on
Is there a temp she needs to be kept at (maybe warmer than normal) when shes in the laying stages? Is there extra special care for a gravid female? If anyone has a webpage suggestion on breeding it would be greatly appreciate
(excuse the lack of punctuation my keyboard is messed up)

thanks so much

jus leave a calcium dish in there and gutload your mealies and/or crickets. the temp. doesnt need to change. just make sure its about 88 on the warm side during the day. a few days before the female lays her eggs she will stop eating and become very hyper.
