my corns have breeded twice before but thats only because i left them to it and let them .
now i have properly researched into it i want them to breed again but how do i know if she is gravid ? or if they have bred or not as i put her in with another male corn and he instantly tried breeding but it scared he as he is a bit bigger so i took her out before anything happened .
how would i get her to breed with my other male the one that she has been with since they were young ( both 5-6 years old now ) .

and whats the best way to incubate the eggs with out a propper incubator / thermostat, heat mat etc or do i need to get buying ?

poly box with sand, heat mat and thermostat is probs the cheapest way. most pet shops that sell fish have poly boxes and give them free normally

i used a tuperware with vermiculite and placed it in the viv. When you say she has been with the other male since they were young do or did they cohabit?

oh right i herd that you can seperate them and then reintroduce them . but howlong do i keep them apart for , i seperated them and cooled them both for a month then put them back together but with no noticeable results .

i can put her with the othermale again but she was constantly trying to get out and didnt want to distress her to much as i dont know whether its normal her playing hard to get etc

yeah what your talking about is brumation but it only really works when its breeding season.
plus you dont really need to brumate corns. corns potentially can breed all year round if they really want to
