Hello,
we have a P. Wahlbergii female for a while now, she turned adult at the end of January, so she is adult for like 5 weeks now. Not laid an ooth yet (she is real fat).
Today I received an adult male, not sure how old he is (also, seller guaranteed it was a wahlbergii).
We wanted to let them mate today, but the male just didn't notice her. He totally ignored her, even when his anteannas touched the female, he didn't do anything. The female was quite 'aggressive' (turns around to see what happens) while she ate quite alot. Her abdomen is really big now.
Now we got some questions:
What should we do? Wait a few days? They are in different cages now, next to each other (they were outside on my desk when we tried to mate them). As it looked today, the male ignores about anything; a fly walked past him and he didn't see it! I hope it doesn't stay this way and he just keeps ignoring her...
And are they 100% sure Wahlbergii? The male is ALOT smaller then the female.
Here are some pics of the female (old, taken when she just turned adult. Abdomen really fat now):
Here are some pics of the male:
Size comparison (not that great shot):
So, please give us some information
