As I go up the temps raise up to 150f on the very top of the cork and starts at 91F at the very bottom piece. These were all measured with digital thermometers and temp guns. As for the size of the enclosure IG my info was outdated as I was under the impression that 4x2x2 was an appropriate size for at least one but I do agree even at this size they use every inch of the enclosure. I 100% intended on going for a larger enclosure anyway but knowing they can produce at this size I will speed things along. I have the funds so I will likely place an order now since the person I order from has a 6 week wait time on enclosures.

I was asking what the substrate temps are from the very bottom (enclosure floor) up to nearer the surface, because they need to be in a suitable range for nesting, ideally they would be from the high 70`sF to the mid 80`sF, the latter temp is often where they will nest (deposit) eggs.
There is an outside chance even if you have 2 females that the eggs could be fertile, the point is females WILL become gravid on a regular basis without a male being present, so it`s extremely important to have "suitable" nesting available at all times.
