They usually readily breed unless they are in bad health so make sure they are a good weight and are physically fit to breed, also daylight hours should be increased by 1-3 hours, make sure they are well fed and make sure the female has plenty of calcium to properly produce and lay eggs and maintain her health.

hope this helps,

Nathan

Hmm...do you have enough hiding places, and what kind of heating do you use?

Male
Default

When I had an adult breeding pair, the male never called. I kept them warm (never less than 80'F, and normally in the upper 80's) and well fed on crickets, roaches, and on rare occasion a newborn mouse (they would eat from tongs easily). I probably only watered them once a week but the substrate stayed moist and the humidity was somewhat high but not very. The female laid eggs it seems like every other month, but I had them probably a year before she started that. Its been several years since I had them and I have been thinking about getting a couple pairs again- they are great animals!!!

I know this sounds like an elementary question...but are you 100% sure that you have a 1.1 pair?

I am 99% sure I have a 1.1 pair I know one for sure is a male because it is even producing wax. And I don't see any pores on the female.
