so i've had my brown ghost gal in a cup with my 2 adult males

the first night the younger male acted more into the female but no mating occured

the second night they all were crazy

this morning, after the third night, i saw the younger male's claw and crown on the ground, the female ate him

however, the older (by 1 week btw) male was mounted on her and he connected before school this morning!! :clap:

talk abt manning up :lol:

will take pics when i get home if they r still connected

 
I have 3 female adults and two fresh males....gotta fatten them all up for some breeding in a week or two!!!

sorry bout your other male

She probably said "make love to me or I'll do this to you!" ;) ...

 
My male only mated twice and died. Could the ootheca my female keeps laying be fertile?

 
I don't see why not..
I hope my male was successful

The male she mated with was the one u texted me saying i was soliciting on a dating site as a gay ghost :lol:

Hmm, maybe thats how the other male really died! The 2 males got carried away, one ended up dead so the other feeds him to the female and copulates with her so i dont suspect him :tt2:

 
both genders or genders separated? What to do once mating time?
both genders

i would be sure to keep them well fed and when they have all been adults for 3 weeks heat them up 10 degrees more so they r simulated to breed

75 degrees to grow and 80-90 to breed work well for me

and though nymphs dont need much higher humidity than 50%, breeding adults should be kept at 70% or so especially males after mating and females after laying

Thanks. I'll do that when I get a community going. All I have is my female right now, but I'd love to get a couple ooths or a bunch of nymphs to start a community

the nymphs need a lot of room in a community and make sure u have at least 30 to factor out cannibalism losses if u run short on food for a week or so

I have a very large exo terra screen terrarrium one of my griffins is using right now. I'm going to be making improvements to the walls and ceiling but a ton of ghosts could fit in there.
