Female: B1 adult.
Male: Snarf (Breeding loan)
Mated: 8 March 2010
Temperature (Close approximates): 32 - 36 degrees C Mid-day, 26 - 28 degrees C Sunrise.
Temperature increase: Mid August 2010.
Humidity increase : In conjunction with temperature.
Egg sac: End August 2010.

The exact date of egg sac production is not clear. The female was not seen for three weeks. I noticed that the entrance to her burrow was barricaded off with substantial webbing. Because the female was mated about the same time as that of Snarf and Raven, I decided to inspect the condition of my female. I was able to detect the egg sac because it was gaurded by the female, close to the enclosure wall.

The egg sac was removed on 5 September 2010.
