hi all
I seem to be having difficulty getting eggs from my females. Mating has occured, the females are housed alone, they seem to be carrying eggs, but somehow they are not laying. I am sure something's gone wrong as already at least 60 days have passed since mating.
They have:
-a temperature gradient of 26 to 32 degrees celcius assured by undertank heating cables,
-a large (probably about 1/4 of the enclosure base) humid hidebox (also with a small gradient) with some 2 inches of moist vermiculite in it.
The bedding is cocunut soil. The females are receiving calcium daily as recommended by my vet.
Any ideas? I am starting to get worried about eggbinding
