Honestly I'm not sure. Everyone i've spoke to who had experience with this species told me that their adults produced extremely small number of offsprings so it might be normal, but this could also an indication that we aren't providing right condition for breeding. 18 hours ago, Hisserdude said: Well at least the adults are still alive, hopefully you'll get more offspring soon! Thanks I hope so too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Do you know if the adults live longer due to living in a desert ecosystem? That could also explain the smaller broods. There may also be certain environmental cues they need to reproduce, but I'm hoping it's way simpler then that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope so! So far my big ones have been molting so I'm guessing I'm doing an ok job with raising them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
