quick questions.

I recently noticed my lone female laid two ooths. Now she has lived communal since sub-adult in one giant cage until recently (couple weeks ago), so what are the chances you would say they are fertile? I found what was left of a dead male below the female also before she laid the ooths, so im thinking he tried?

Another question... Because she has laid 2 ooths she should be more than old enough to mate right? I put her out of the cage with a male right next to her every other night and they have yet to connect. She has not been "calling" him at all as far as I can tell. What can I do to get them to connect? :angry:

 
I guess it's been a while since I've visited this thread...

But I think the only way to really find out if they're fertile is to wait 6 or 7 weeks and keep them humidified near the end of that period.

I have more haching today from a female that was mated only once and I was very concerned that she wasn't fertile...
