26 hours and still no copulation.

As soon as he seen the female. He jumped on her back from my hand. He was feeling around trying to copulation. But he couldnt figure it out. I think he gave up cause he stopped trying. But he won't get off her back. Surprisingly my female is cooperative like she doesn't care. What should i do? I've tried separating them but he won't budge. And since he the only male I've got right now.... last week I tried with a different female. And couldn't copulate. Sfter a couple hours of no action I was able to separate and remove him. But now he's gotta tight hold and won't release.

He's been an adult for about 6 weeks now

Sometimes they take longer.
You will always run a risk of sexual cannibalism, so my suggestion is to try again, coax him to jump on her back, and leave them alone for a few hours.
Sometimes they connect quickly and sometimes it can take days, depending on the species.

Based on your photo, then I can see he is interested in mating. Her passivity could be perceived as acceptance towards mating.

Try putting them outside in a large screen cage.
