How long is a male Ghost good for mating?

[Deacon]

Male ghost molted to adult last week (one month exact from sub to adult.) My female molted to sub Dec 2. I have read that females can take 2-3 months for their final molt. If that's the case, will my male be too old for her?

They usually last to mate with the female, keep him a little cooler spot and feed every other day.

Okay, I'll give that a try. Thank you.

Edit: Whew, my female ghost molted to adult yesterday (only 30 days as a sub.) I was in my bug room last night, working on a bigger habitat for her as I had noticed her wing buds getting fuller that morning, plus I saw her do that "dog-shaking-the-rain-off-its-coat thing". Luckily she picked the right spot to molt, because when I peeked at her, she was almost finished---just the back legs still inside--so I got to watch the rest of the process. She did use her old skin to reach up to the top where she hung to expand her wings for a couple of hours (perfect outcome). She's still green but has caramel-colored wings. Very interesting to watch as I'd never seen the wing bit before.

So, the male and female are just two weeks apart.
