The enclosure is in my dining room near a window. It is a 12WX 24Hx30L. It is a glass enclosure with the two ends screened as well as the top. I have a herp lamp on top. The temp stays between 75 and 80. I put a lot of silk plants like pothos and plastic philodendron with a water fountain as well as a drip every day. I misted her 2X- once in morning and once in evening. She had a good appetite until 24 hours before her death. I did notice a cricket on her the morning of her death and swept it away and she moved. When I came home in the evening there was another cricket on her and that's when she had apparently died. I've had her since July 14th. I brought her and a pair back from HI. She was in her own enclosure. Here are some pictures of her enclosure and what she looked like along with my male. I did not hold her at all because I didn't want to stress her. When I did her autopsy I saw that the babies looked completely developed- there were 20 of them. Everything looked clean inside. She had no wounds on her and she had been active until the 24 hours before. Could it have been close to delivery and I put too many crickets which were uneaten and stressed her? Plus, the bedding was pretty wet, does it need to be dry for them to have their babies? Does she need a special enclosure or hiding place to have her babies? I did notice she would go to the bottom of her enclosure during the day and try to go through the glass as if she was trying to get away. This was always when I turned on the light before I left for work everyday. Any suggestions? I don't want to lose my others.
