[QUOTE="sally, post: 255578, member: 6872"] My first attempt in Feb. was with Alice and Frankenweenie. He jumped right on and they connected for many hours. I could not get her to lay. She became eggbound and died :( I sent FW to NY. This time My male jumped on and was only connected for 45 mins. When I tried again they remained connected for 5 or so hours. She laid her ooth :) now to see if it hatches. I am trying to get her sister to mate, no dice. She is calling and very gravid but he is not interested. I do keep him in another room. I am trying again today. I Used high humidity (75 %) and temps about 80 to 85 F for the mating. I always use the fan with the wind blowing on them. When I was trying to get her to lay, she was acting fussy, I used soil, and put real foliage in her container. I am new to this too, so hopefully we can see what is effective :) Oh, and I upped the humidity a little to get her to lay.... [/QUOTE]
