Get yours mated first obviously. maybe if we can work something out where I drop off some of my girls for a week to be mated later on. I hope the male you gave me makes it though.

Congratulations, Albert! Your images are First Class. See? Some patience and practice and you're creating some really fine shots - in very little time.

 
Were you ever able to mate your Ghosts?

Do your Archimantis take a long time in between molts? I'm wondering if I'm not keeping mine warm enough. They are growing so slow compared to all of my other species.

Do you have another male you can try? My first three Ghosts I mated have all been laying fertile ooths. Now I'm waiting to see about the other two. Three / five never ate the males, and they died of old age. One finally ate the male. And one of my females that hasn't laid an ooth yet bit the head off from the male. I didn't see them connect. We'll see what happens. Good luck with yours!
