Re: gestation period in albino checkered

thanks for your help are there any sign that they are close? Do they have a prelay shed? I just pick up a pair and the female may be gravid.

Re: gestation period in albino checkered

doesn't the gestation depend on environmental conditions, such as temperature, humitity, etc ?
