Hey. I have some breeding questions. I would love if someone could answer them.
1. Can I mate them loose in a room on the floor. Many people say upside down in a mesh cage is best, but I think a room could be better. And do they HAVE to be upside down? I know it helps the male escape, but can't the male just run off?
2. How old is too old for the male or female to mate.
3. will the female produce egg sacks immediately after mating? Or does it happen gradually?
4. I watched the video about breeding pinned to this forum by bugsincyberspace. He mentioned that if the male dies, it most often happens during the actual mating process and isn't the escape. If this is true, could I just like watch them for a few hours. Ill end up watching tv and them at the same time.
5. How much should I feed the female prior to this? And is it possible to leave crickets in the room with her, so she can hunt while the male does his thing.
6. Can I feed the female while she is mating?
Thankyou for the time!
