Jobi, you are saying the armata nest only at 85-90°F? Is this why I have lost 2 of my 4 gravid armata? They retained the eggs and perished. Even oxytocin didn't get them to labor.
I have 2 females left, one with her second clutch and one with her first, that should be getting close to due date. I am keeping the nesting viv at 85 daytime but it does drop into the 70's at night. If these temps are the problem I need to know as I only have 3 females left, these gravid two and one small juvenile.
I know Bonnie is concerned with her female who seems to be retaining her clutch as well. From the photos she sent she isn't in danger like the two I lost, not think and wasted looking yet, still nice and plump with fat limbs, but no sense letting her go to the point of wasting away if it can be avoided by raising the night-time temps!
