Well I've got a pair so step 1 is done! haha
I wanted to know if anyone had any suggested breeding weight, or info on any stimulation needs for breeding them. Does everyone else just put them together when they're adult size and they lay eggs in the cage? Is there any prepping that should be done for them (egg laying container, particular setup of branches/leaves, etc.)?
Currently my male is about 1/2 the size of my female, I haven't weighed them yet as they are just getting adjusted to their cage and I didn't want to stress them. I would estimate him to be about 5 grams and her about 10. Due to the size difference and lack of solid information on breeding them, I have them separated for the time being.
So far I have them at a fairly constant humidity of 50% (goes up a little when I mist them at night which I do daily). The ambient temperature is 75 during the day and 70 at night. They are both feeding well on small crickets and baby dubia roaches which are powdered with D3 and calcium every other feeding.
I have read that they do not require supplemental lighting, though there are many other cages in the room that are currently on a 9 hour daylight cycle for winter. So while they are not getting direct light, there is obviously light in the room that gives the simulation of daylight.
Any advice/info is greatly appreciated!
Here's a half decent pic of my female
