Longest incubation: 6 months 21 days
Average incubation: 4 months 15 days
Shortest days till seen eating: 11 days
Longest days till seen eating: 35 days
Other observations. Egg size and hatchling weight is related to adult female size
- shortest incubation was also smallest hatchling, longest was largest. Though this may just be chance.

Did you have nightime drops in temps once you did the diapause period. Also were they all in diapause at the same time and temps?
Good species to work with. These guys don't require vast space and are a good tropical species for the uk enthusiasts to venture into without major expense.
