Vitamin & egg laying question>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

gmherps Jun 01, 2004 08:59 AM

I observed my leos, well "doing it" on Saturday night!!! Yeah baby!
How long until I should expect some eggs, considering all went well?

Also, what is the best vitamin powder for my leos?
I used rep-cal w/D3. Is there something better?

Thanks for all the help!

Congrats!
you should expect eggs in about 3-4 weeks
rep-cal with vit d3 is probably best to use, remember to supply the female with a moist hide with some kind of laying substrate( peat moss,vermiculite,potting soil,bed-a-beat etc..)

Should I remove the male, or just leave him in there?

Thanks for the advice!

Here is my set up for them:

Does this look OK, or do I need to change something?
11 inch flexwatt runs vertically down the middle of the back side of rubbermaid.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome!!!!

The setup looks fine, you can leave the male in there, but taking him out would'ne be a bad idea
