[QUOTE="Austin S., post: 122211, member: 5088"] I would like to share my experience with captive breeding this beloved species. I have never found any documented reports, ever. So, I figured I would start one. For all of you who are wanting to breed this species, please feel free to copy the same process! Best of luck! Female #1 - Molted 3/7/17 Female #2 - Molted 3/8/17 Male #1 matured - 4/19/17 Male #1 matured - 5/1/17 Female #1 mated in May Female #2 mated in June **Female #1 and Female #2 were both placed into a cool room 1 week after molting. They remained at 63-71 degrees, and dry, for 4 weeks post molt. The males were then introduced IN the cool room, in the females containers. Courting lasted a few minutes. Males were witnessed tapping and shaking at the entrance of the females burrow, eventually luring out the females, for mating. - [MEDIA=youtube]1HuUyDeCMRU[/MEDIA] After mating, females were left in the same cooler conditions for 2 more weeks. Containers were then placed into the warm room (81-83 degrees). 1 week after moving into warm room, I increased food intake, began flooding the container, and increased temps to 90-96 degrees. Female #1 was witnessed excavating and large, deep burrow the next day after temps were increased. June 28th Female #1 was seen laying egg sac. July 1st, sac was pulled, and manually rotate by hand, every 5 hours. Day 18 - Sac was opened, to 100% good ewls. Not a singe bad egg. Current - 453 2i. Female #2 has now excavated to the bottom of the same container type. Still eating and extremely large. Fingers crossed.
