Nasty Ghost Molt

[Zeebweeny]

I have 1 female ghost and she decided to molt from a low twig. She looks like she will be able to make it, but her wings are crumpled. I have 3 males, 2 of which have molted into adult perfectly in the same size enclosure. What I really want to know is if she can mate or not. I think physically she can mate, but the problem is the male being unable to attach or even mount. Tell me what you think.

That may detract a male from mounting her as it is not the norm. Too bad about the mismolt.

Yea thats what I was worrying about

You can clip most of the wings, just dont take more than u have too, but I dont see what would stop them, they get around better than we think they will.

I would just fold the wings back and crazy glue the wings together. :lol:

 

[sporeworld]

Yeah, I've cut them off before, and she bred just fine.

I would try WITHOUT cutting the wings first. If the males are too confused because of the wings, clip 'em off.

ignore ismart :tt2:

Id cut the wings down to stubs. Leave some near the base becasue if you get too close you will get into soft tissue. So don't try to cut them flush with the body.

I swear! I tried it once with no ill effect!
