I need some help to inducing mating on Gongylus Gonglodes. I have a pair which had turn adult for about a month now. I was wondering if there are any trick coaxing them to mate? Any help would be appreciate. Thanks!!

 
What conditions are they being kept under?

I put the male in a cage for a few days then introduce a very fly filled female in the evening, give them a misting and leave them to it

 
I put the female in the net cage. I kept her at around 30+'C in the day and cool at night and mist them morning and night. The female is very nice and fat. I am not sure if I should increase the temperature more before letting the male in there?

 
Ive had mine for about 3 weeks and i keep them together in the same empty net cage with a heat lamp shining on them 10-15 hours a day, the male just mated with her once so far and it only lasted about 2-4 hours, I heard the males needed really really high heat like 100F and it worked after about 2 weeks of being together he jump calmly climbed on mated, climbed off and went on his mary way lol. Hope this helps
