Any updates on these, have they been steadily reproducing for you?

I only see 5 babies in the enclosure. All the adults are still alive though.

Is that usual for these guys, or are they just really hard to breed?No
Well at least the adults are still alive, hopefully you'll get more offspring soon!No
Honestly I'm not sure. Everyone i've spoke to who had experience with this species told me that their adults produced extremely small number of offsprings so it might be normal, but this could also an indication that we aren't providing right condition for breeding.
Thanks
I hope so too!pannaking22

Do you know if the adults live longer due to living in a desert ecosystem? That could also explain the smaller broods. There may also be certain environmental cues they need to reproduce, but I'm hoping it's way simpler then that lol.

Not all that surprising that the biology is unknown, but still a bummerUnfortunately I have no idea. Nothing much is known about the biology of this species
Looks like you'll be extending our knowledge of this species then!
I sure hope so! So far my big ones have been molting so I'm guessing I'm doing an ok job with raising themNot all that surprising that the biology is unknown, but still a bummer
