Ok so i have my female Ghost which I know I seen personally locked up with the male I had 7 or 8 times (that's not counting while I wasn't around) and it's now going on 2 weeks and she has yet to lay an ooth yet. Now I've bred my R. extensicollis with no problems when it came to her laying but is there anything in particular I could do to encourage my Ghost to lay? She's alone in a 8"x8"x12" (lxwxh) with numerous sticks for her to lay on. Maybe I'm just overreacting lol but after all the breeding I personally seen with this girl, there is no way shes not fertile, not to mention I know they will lay even when they haven't bred. Thank you for any tips...

 
How well fed are you keeping her? Feed her everything she can possibly hold without bursting. She should lay soon.

She's fed very well lol. Definitely not under fed thats for sure. I just have her 4 or 5 bb flies yesterday and feed her ever 2 days...sometimes 3 depending on how think she looks

 
Ok. Make sure that she eats as much as she can hold and give her lots of different sized perches. I hope she lays!
