Hi, Can any one tell me how long from mating to ovoposition?
They started mating on jan 27th,

This went on for a week or two and although the male still tries it on, she wont allow it any more and walks or shrugs him off.
She is also walking differently, pelvis very high in the air?? Although she is very heavy looking and only takes the smallest food items i cannot see an outline of eggs in her lower body?
Tonight she has moved just about all the substrate in the viv around in an effort to find a good place to lay, im hoping? might have settled on this spot?

Cheers in advance Gary

Cheers, Mine mated for approx 2 weeks, every day.
I obviously cant tell when or if she has caught, but her behaviour at least got me thinking.
Just gotta keep my eye open i spose, which i do any way Laughing

Might sound stupid, but are you sure they are 1.1? (Have you seen a lock, has the pair proven themselves before?)

I'm probably mistaking but at first glance both animals look like females to me. (And yes they also mate to determine dominance)

No bad if I would be right though (lone males are easy to find... Very Happy

)
