Hey guys, I have 1.2 of these and the females appear to be gravid every so often. They stay this way for about 1.5 to two weeks and then slim back down, but I never find any eggs. All 3 are healthy and eat great. They are housed in a 37gal tropical setup. Plants are philodendron, bromeliad, and zz plant types. They have two misting nozzles that spray fine mist several times a day for about a half a minute, with about 2/3 of the top covered for humidity. For heat a 50W infrared bulb with a basking temp of 95F at the hottest. The other end of the cage is in the mid 70s F and they move all around the tank. A couple pieces of cork bark are the only pieces of decor. I have noticed recently that the top inch or so of soil is somewhat dry, but this is only recently. Anybody have any ideas as to what might be making them reabsorb the eggs?
Thanks,
Ryan Niccoli
