P. tigrinus breeding

I've had a pair of P. tigrinus for about 9 months now; I bought them from a guy who said they were a proven breeding pair and who assured me that they'd continue to breed. Fast forward nine months and I haven't had any luck so far, which is weird because I hear the little guys breed like rabbits for most other people... My set-up is an 8 gallon tall with a mesh lid. I use a heat pad to get the hot area to the mid-80's (measured with an infrared temp. gun), provide cork bark rounds and fake plants for cover, and feed them probably a little too well. My substrate is fine-grained sandblasting sand about 0.75" thick. Keeping moderate humidity's easy for me since I keep mostly tropical herps in addition to these gys. Any ideas what's going wrong here? The main thing that comes to mind is maybe the substrate's not thick enough?
