[QUOTE="xxdreamchas3r913, post: 171819, member: 4365"] ok that sounds good if theres a good chance the mating was successful i'll just leave her be it's not like it'll be a terrible thing if her ooth ends up not hatching i'll actually be satisfied if i only had one ooth that hatched! and i still have two other females that have finished mating and another two that are still waiting to mate so i think it should be fine. and i definitely have enough males especially since the last two came out alive! i was planning on losing all of them to be safe so i've been keeping the same number of males as females but now that 3 survived i'd like to release all males i can after they mate. thanks so much for your advice i really appreciate it! good to know i don't need a whole restroom for them too haha i kinda just wanted to give the male as much room as possible to escape if he had to lol i'm still paranoid with that. how big of an enclosure would be best? i've been using a regular fish tank for them probably about 10 gallons but i kept the lid off so they wouldn't be trapped in the same container when they finished. so would it be fine if i just closed it? there should be enough room for the male to fly away from her but she won't chase him down or anything right? do they ever walk over and grab the male after he flies off if she can still see him? it still kind of a scary thought for me to leave them both in a sealed enclosure to be honest haha but if that usually works fine for everyone else i'll give it a shot! thank you so much! really helped me out! =) [/QUOTE]
