Well you guys know I would help you out if I could but I'm out of adult males, just adult females and nymphs at the moment, so good luck with that male. brancsikia try to have some patience with them, like they say if first you don't succeed try try again. ;)

i got gongies to molt by exposing the male to a regular daylight cycle with very high temps then introducin the gal in the evening B)

 
I keep trying. the male is just bored and uninterested. Males are very short lived. THIS IS A SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS. WE ALL NEED ADULT MALES. thanx :D I hope for the best with my current pair.

 
Maybe she will lay an ooth?! When I introduced my m. religiosa, they showed no interest in each other. Then, she later laid an ooth, and during the next mating attempt both males hooked up.

 
Just a view on nature here but not every bug gets to breed or does...................When Nick told you to seperate them a few few hrs and heat the male up you barely went an hour before you were back posting nothings working.

Also remember that his idolo comes from a 3.5 Billion year line of organisms that all succeeded in heterosexual copulation.
