I was just tallying everything up and am honestly suprised, I figured it would be more expensive to get my breeding project up and going, tell me if I have everything I need and if all of my information is correct:
($15) Ten gallon aquarium
($50) Twenty-nine gallon tank
(40.00+50.00 shippingx5=$450) One male and four females from flchams
(50.00x2=$100) (x2) UVB/UVA light (One for the babies and one for the adults)
(10.00x2=$20) (x2) Kritter Keeper (one for the eggs, and one for the crickets)
(15.00x4=$75) (x5) Clamp light (One for eggs, One for heat and one for UVB/UVA for babies, one for heat and one for UVB/UVA for adults)
(10.00x3=$30) (x3) Heat bulb (One for the babies, one for the adults and one for the eggs)
($20)Hydroton clay balls (LLLReptile.com)
($20) Coconut fiber
(Free) Wire window screen
($20) Aquarium active carbon
(Free) Pothos plant
(Free) Sticks
$790
feed adults every other day
feed babies every day
Mist often daily, mist eyes directly
mid 70's
70% humidity
Heavily plant the tank
Substrate: Start with the hydroton clay balls on the bottom, covered with window screen, covered with active carbon, covered with screen, and then the coconut fiber. Make the coconut fiber about 5 inches deep for breeding.
You can either leave the eggs alone or dig them up and incubate them.
Incubation: Use vermiculite as the mixture, clutches are usually 2-6 eggs after 41-92 days of incubation. Hatchlings will eat pinhead crickets, fruitflys, and springtails in a separate enclosure from the parents. Temperature of incubation tank should be in the early to mid 70’s. Must incubate in the dark. The mothers will lay 3-4 clutches of eggs each year. Use a sterilite tupperware container and be able to make a ball with damp vermaculite but not soaking wet, lay the eggs on top of this and cover the eggs with sphagnum moss to help maintain humidity. Females will start digging a hole to put their eggs in when they are gravid.
