George,

I've 2 females, one is round as a football and i see the embryo's on the side of the pleural membrane and the other one is visible in the photo above, not gravid i think?

Greetings
Michael

I've had a gravid female of G. limbatus (from George) for ages now, and the embryos have been visible for a long time. I think this species may be very fussy about the conditions before it will give birth.

What are your conditions Oliver & George? they told me to keep them at 20C! that's pretty cold isn't it? and not too humid.

Kind Regards
Michael

I keep her at about 28C with moderate humidity, perhaps cooler would be better:confused:

Hey

when mine gave birth, i got her from paris on the friday, she was HEAVILY pregnant (she looked like she was full of white BB pellets :p) then she survived the long journey by eurostar in my suitcase (lots of vibrations), then she ate a cricket the same size as herself, and gave birth the night after arrival- didnt eat any babies

this one wasnt too fussy then? :p

she also gave birth under only partial seclusion (under a piece of bark, where you could see her from the outside)

IMO, you guys should just up the temperature, madagaskar gets REALLY hot, mind you the female i had gave birth in September, which is just before the madagascan summer
