One of the alpine girls is huge; her lower abdomen has that wobbly jello-look on either side, she has a voracious appetite and at Press time she was seen hanging out behind the flower pot with two very attentive males, doing some of the old hoo-hah.

How long will grandma have to wait until there are eggs? She has lots of different plants in the tank; surely one of those will meet her approval?

A second female is also beginning to look pretty jello....
 
It shouldn´t take long. Just make sure that among the variety of plants there are some that suit their requirements. They can be very choosy on occasion.
 
We demand pictures!
I cannot answer your question about when, have you read your horoscope?

They cant be that picky!, I am sure they will pick one.
What temperature are you keeping them at? raising the temperature might encourage her to lay (just an idea).
 
they are at 58 F; she has java fern, Bacopa, Rotala rotundifolia, Shinnersia, Vallisneria, some Elodea, wisteria, and a sprig of Ceratopteris. What else could the girl want?
 
Maybe a couple candles, a bubble bath, bottle of wine? ;)
 
Have you tried increasing the temperature to like 62?

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
