With as many as you have I'd suggest seperating one group (male and female) and keeping one group together. I seem to notice breeding behavior when a high pressure system building in. The planicauda have bred for me in April and May. The arachnoides have bred for me August, Sept and Oct. They have also bred sporaticly throughout the year. I've gotten 6 eggs and hatched out one from the arachnoides. none from the planicauda. I'm going on 2 years with these guys and have never seperated them.
I've lost 2 males planicauda due to complaciency so be careful and monitor them daily even though they are inactive.
