Hi Byron
Breeding oxycephala isn`t very difficulty. They copulate and lay eggs all year round, but the problem is to get the eggs to hatch. They need a lot of oxygen and a soften eggshell. If they are barried in vermiculite or perlite they might not recieve the oxygen needed from the eggshell and the die prior to hatching. I keep my eggs on a string of plastic tube allowing the maxinum oxygen to enter the eggshell. The eggs are in a little container with water in the buttom and the eggs above. I open the boxes every 10 days to allow new airto enter. This incubator seems to work much better on long term incubations like oxycephala. There are pics of my incubator and the system I use on my webside
Best wishes
