Congratulations! Is she still tan or was this a green nymph? So far, I have only had two green nymphs out of about eight that have molted to adults in this generation.

I had an adult turn green in less than 48 hours once, but it usually takes about a week for them to turn green.I don't have any fresh males right now but do have a couple of pre and sub adult males.

You may only need one male unless he doesn't get the job done. I just removed my only male (been an adult for about a month now) from my female's enclosure. He was living with her for two weeks. He finally mated with her a few days ago. Typcially the females don't eat the males until they have mated a couple of times. But there are no guarantees and are always exceptions.

I may have a surplus female but someone on this thread asked before you did. I'm holding onto my pre and sub adults until they molt and until I confirm my next female's ooths are fertile.

ok well in that case...

how do i speed up the male then???

 
Alex, you may want to put some water droplets on your hand and see if she is thirsty. I never spray my adults, but if she didn't have food for a while, then she may be dehydrated.

I have a feeding system that works well when one is away for about 7 - 9 days. I can't remember if I emailed you the details...
