Breeding Question

[eldaldo]

Hi everyone. With the Rise in Temperature over the past week, my male T. Karelinii Has entered breeding mode. His crest is growing and he is doing the breeding "dance" for the females. Unfortunately, the females are not gravid. In the past when I have bred them, the females developed their eggs over the winter and were ready when the temperatures rose. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with females developing eggs after the temperatures rise?

It's possible that the females have a few eggs, but aren't gravid enough to "look" gravid. If they are truly not gravid, I don't think you have much of a chance. Feed them plenty of worms and hope for the best. If you keep them in the right temperature range, the male may stay in breeding mode for several months.

Thanks Jen! I'll keep up the feeding and hope for the best.
