Cool! I bet you get lots of different morphs from their ooths. Are you planning on keeping the ooth at room temp?

And I hope the male survived the night o' passion. Your female, while pretty...is not very fat! I'd be afraid to put the two together...

Yes he survived - he is the second one to survive such a pairing. I left him overnight just like the other one. Both were fine in the morning. They mated in a 16" x 24" net cube cage with tons of fake foliage. The first one I mated with a green female was not so lucky. The green female was super fat and apparently super hungry since she ate him while they were still going at it. Oh well.

Provided all goes well and they start laying like hens, I will put most of the ooths out in our garden for next year, but we will keep probably 2 or so at room temp to get some more limbatas as pets.
