Joe:

The past three years of breeding gaigae have all been different for me. Two years ago, they started breeding in late March after one shed. I got two clutches out of both females with 100 percent hatch rates.

Last year, they didn't breed until late May after their second sheds and I only got one clutch (both were huge - 15 and 12 eggs) that was not laid until early July and didn't hatch until the third week in October.

This year I put them in after their first sheds and they have been breeding like crazy for a month. So maybe I'll get eggs in late June?? I have not confirmed any of the females are gravid yet so maybe they are just fooling me for now.
