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?
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.
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 ) 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?
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
