what about temps and humidity for the incubation of the eggs?

unfortunately the female died, at the autopsy I believe for dystocia and hepatic lipidosis, the second most likely due to stress condition. Recommended to try again a greater number of females, a terrarium larger or both?

both, with better nutrition (less fat, more proteins and mineralls esp calcium)

a UV bulb can't harm

the nutrition was sure not fat, I gave them less prey than I have been recommended, because they told me to give 5 prey head every two days, but I've always give them 3 prey every two days. lipidosis has many causes, not only fatty foods

fatty liver can be caused by phosphorus toxicity: what sort of supplements were you using? anything that causes a chronic hepatitis or kidney damage can also do it. i would look at your water or other possible toxins that may have been slowly doing damage. take a look at your tank-cleaning solutions for alcohols, etc.

this could also represent some sort of lipid metabolism disorder, but i really have no clue when it comes to reptiles. what sort of prey were you offering? as sort of a long shot, i know that in humans, women in their 3rd trimester can develop a fatty liver. it's rare, but often fatal when it does happen. wish i had more to offer you, but maybe that'll help.

so, I use the nekton Ca+d3 (if I can't write the name please delete it), i give them little ****roaches, for water...I will look now, but I drink the some water, it will be strange because it was really controlled for human health. I don't clean the cage with other than water. thank you for help I will control those things

a lot of times tap water will have chlorine added to it. i know that mine does; i can smell it if i leave water in a water bottle long enough. i use "AquaSafe" by "tetrafauna" to dechlorinate all the water i give my P. picta. even the stuff i spray in there; i don't know about vazimba, but pictas lick droplets as a primary water source. no idea if water was even the problem, but it can't hurt to try. try looking for threads on here about the effects of chlorinated water or start one. i'd be interested to know.

mmm interesting ... Cl should evaporate leaving the water to settle? then I will try to leave some out before give it them

[aquamentus_11]

Yeah, it'll evaporate eventually. I've heard varying things on the effectiveness of this. I have a cat though, so leaving water out in wide bowls will just result in him drinking it lol

[crow]

ahahahah however, the water for spray is already to evaporate
