here is a basic cycleing method
-keep enclosure colder than usual for 6-10 weeks, and cut back on food drasitically, and decrease humidity aswell, and decrease the photoperiod to 9-10 hours of light per day. and keep the water area very small.

-after that period slowly raise temps, humidity, feeding and photoperiod to about 14 hours on per day. after say a week of feeding them heavily (not to heavy), increase the water area drastically.

-i have not used a rain chamber, because it is to much effort etc, instead i like to use a big bucket full of water with little pin head size holes on the bottom, put that over your water section so the water dribbles into the water area.

this has worked for me, and my males have become VERY horny through this type of cycling, the only prob is that my female is not yet sexually mature, therefore i have not had any eggs yet. my males have peformed many many hours of amplexus with each other and her but still no luck.
