The happy handshake...

The reprodcuctive organs of males look so weird. like they're constantly hanging out. How long was it before your female started calling?
I didn't see any calling but I didn't keep her in clear view. I tried to mate them several times. The male showed interest but didn't try to mount. This time he attacked her as soon as I brought him out. I mean that literally. She was freaked out and striking at me trying to defend herself. I always intervene and catch the strikes to protect the male.

This female became adult 1/31. The male on either the same day or 2/07. I lost track of the males.
