How long between mating male s. limbata?

[cloud jaguar]

I have a very handsome smallish brown male s. limbata that I have already mated with one pink s. limbata female last week. I have another pink s. limbata female that I want to mate him to right now. I have already put her into the mating cage (1'x2' net with tons of fake foliage). She ate 6 blue bottles and a moth yesterday and is feasting on a large cricket as I type.

Is one week between matings sufficient time for him to 'recharge'?

One week? One day is enough. Just feed him in between.

One week is more than enough. I haven't tried the next day, but the second day has worked for me.

If she's fat, then you shouldn't have to worry about all those feeders. He just needs enough room to get away.
