Oh my gosh! Give that old dude a break!

I just put an ad out for a male. Thanks everybody for your ideas.

 

[brancsikia339]

Having issues again. Got a new male and he is coexisting with the female in his cage <_<

I just separated them. They've been nothing but communal (which is good) but he barely acknowledges her presence. What should i do now??

Put him on top of her. It's worked on different species for me.

I just did that for my popas today, worked smoothly....take him out and put him on a flat surface and then put her in front of him and coax her to move infront of him....(try this if the above option doesn't work)....keep me updated!!!!

All the best,

Andrew

I've done this with my popas and Carolinas. Always has worked when I can't get them to take interest in each other at first.

But how do you physically place them on eachother?

Heat the male up to 95-100 by himself for a few hours and at the same time mist the tank well indirectly as not to startle him, then put the cooler female in with him. That's what worked for me countless times with this species.

You can mate them a couple times...I don't need him back right away... .....my Idolo just needs to get settled in...sorry he is just being difficult... ^-^

Hopefully!! My female is going to be adult soon too...so you guys live relatively close to each other...so maybe you guys can do a drop off or something...then I can get him back... we'll see

not a bad idea

assumin my female survives her final molt

 

[brancsikia339]

Uh... Connecticut and Long island aren't exactly the closest. About 4 hours. I'd probably mail him to you
