On sexing advice received here I have moved female from Tank #3 into Tank #2 with my known male. He chased her around for awhile but they seemed to have settled down now.
36 days in and I Ssill haven't seen babies yet. Female haas been hiding for weeks now. I lifted up her log last week and she was fine and still berried. I hope she is not just sitting under there eating babies as they hatch.LOL.
These guys don't eat their young. Right before hatching the female will either dig a hole or find a hideout to release the babies. The babies will sit with the mother (and even climbing on the mother) for a day or two before venturing out on their own. As the young get older they are in danger of getting hurt by the parents and each other if the tank is overcrowded. This behavior is similar to the way cichlids are.
Well after 36 days since berrying, mom is out and I counted 6 babies before my eyes hurt to much. They are so tiny and so colourless they are hard to spot. I will try to get pics but I still haven't got that macro lens yet. Come on Santa!!
