No not really one of the cues I look for. The uncalcified eggs are semi-adhevsive and most stick to branches some fall to the floor. Most females remain up in the branches but move around between each egg deposition. I would check the temps in the higher areas in her cage. Adjust temps to 75F...
No, I go by their behavior. Weight won’t tell you much- too dependent on age and size of the female. Younger females deliver 6-8 babies, larger older females can have 12-15 babies.
I live on the central coast in Ca. I keep them in all screen cages outdoors 8-9 months of the year depending on the weather. Babies are in the cham room for 2-3 months in plastic tubs depending time of year. Hoehnelii cycle twice a year regardless if bred.
Optimal temps:~ 75F. daytime, 50-55F. night. Humidity: 50-60% daytime, 85-100% nights. These data are plus or minus. They can survive almost freezing temperatures at night and can certainly take 85F. during the day.
Yes, for about 12 years now. I currently have 2.3 adults and 8 babies about 3 weeks old.
You can search me in the photography section for some of my past hoehnelii.
Yes, I keep hoehnelii. They are a wonderful species. Your female looks just about ready to pop. Has she slowed down eating? You need to have some small feeders ready for when she drops the neonates.
