[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 306902, member: 6796"] I've been able to get males to maturity within about a month and a half and females to maturity after a little over two months. The males could probably have matured much faster if I had fed them the maximum amount of food they would be willing to take at every feeding and if they were kept warmer. The females were kept in the mid to high 80s and offered prey until they refused to feed at every feeding. Even after they refused prey, they would also accept sugar solution, so that was provided periodically as well between periods of prey acceptance. They usually molted within a week of disinterest in capturing prey. [/QUOTE]
