I’ve been failing at mating my Nephrurus cinctus for about the 5th time now, and I’d like to understand why. The male is maintained at 13–15g and I introduce him at 14–15g. The female is at 30–35g, which seems stable so I’ve left her as is. The male was brought in as a baby in February 2024, and the female was brought in in late 2022 as an individual that needed about another year of growing out.
I’ve been attempting since September through October. I’m not doing a formal cooling period — I’m following ambient temperatures but keeping it above 27–28°C. I’ve confirmed mounting and observed for 3 to 7 hours at a time, and I’ve heard eggs should be visible within about 2 weeks, but it’s already October 26th and there’s no sign of anything, so I’m not sure where things stand.
