A bit over a month.
Do they need to mate to fertilize each pair of eggs or is one or matings enough for the season? Mantids need only one or two matings and that takes care of many oothecae (egg cases).
Yes, just like mantids. Some dont need a male though to make babies! They are parthonogenic. I've heard some reptiles and/or lizards do that, what about geckos?
If that kind of stretch is a good average, then i'm super stoked!My 2 females (my only experience so far) layed on day 23 and day 25. I've been told this is a "good average." Another 7-10 days probably isn't too much of a stretch.
Some nice close photos with minimal white-belly-glare will help. I know you don't want to stress them, but checking that belly is necessary to check on her health.
If that kind of stretch is a good average, then i'm super stoked!
My last female to ovulate was put with male at the beginning of her cycle and exactly 12 days later had her 1st clutch. Just a single egg, but still pretty quick.
...
Another one of my females had her second clutch exactly 13 days apart.
The very top shelf runs between 91-94f on the floor, 87 in the hide, and 81-82f in the front / cool side, depending on ambient temps in the room which are kept between 70-76f.
.....
So yeah, the top of the rack probably runs a little warmer than average... where it just so happens the 2 female's i mentioned are kept.
