Hi todd I was just curious as to when I should put these guys together for breeding and what would be a good temp?As far as unknown I do sell GTPs and A few epole know me as that

Well as long as you have somewhat of a reputation then it should be a little easier for you to sell the double hets. Just do not be surprised if you try to sell them to random folks that they will be a little more hesitant. I am not trying to discourage you in any way just trying to give the real facts about the het world. It is tough until you are huge.
First thing before breeding attempts should be made is that they both (especially the female) should be in excellant health. Around October or November you should cycle them. This can be conducted by changing their photoperiod from 12/12 day/night to about 8/16 day/night. The temps should also be lowered from the mid to high 80's during the day to the low 80's and a night time temp around the mid 70's. Try to avoid going any cooler then 75 degrees because burms seem to be more prone to RI's when they are subjected to temps lower than that. Feeding should be avoided during this time. You want the animals focus to be strictly on mating not on anything else. After about four weeks introduce the male into the females enclosure. Breeding should take place on their own and can go on for several days. Most people reintroduce the male into the females cage several times over the next few week/months. You wabt to look for ovulation. This is the females body starting to produce eggs. This is noted by a large swelling in the two thirds of their body. Females typically shed 14-20 days after ovulation is seen. The eggs are normally laid 30 days after post ovulation shed. Burms have huge clutch sizes. they have 20 to over 80. Most clutches I have seen are around the 40's or so. The female burm will maternally incubate the eggs if you let her but most people incubate them. Either way you want the clutch to be at as close to 100% humidity as you can with out the eggs getting wet and the temps to be around 88 degrees. Incubation takes from 55 and 70 days to hatch.
Just to let you know, I didn't want to give you erroneous info so this is the information I got off of NERDS caresheet for burms. Their caresheets are very accurate and coincide with everything I personnaly would and do do to care for my burms. Hope this helps and sorry this is so long. Todd
