[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 347365, member: 5913"] Yes, I did try that. I kept them in a small bathroom for a few weeks at least heated up to the 90s F with a small heater. I still couldn't really get the males interested even with keeping the males and females warm like this. Although it probably helped. But even without this heating I was able to mate them in the cooler parts of the house ( which was in the 80s F to 90F, we use no air-conditioning) by manually putting the male on top of the female. I was told by Craig Baker that he uses a fan to blow on the cage with the P. wahlbergii to stimulate mating. This, and heating them up in the 90s F and leaving the male and female alone together in the cage might be a better or more efficient method for mating large amounts of P. wahlbergii than manually putting the males on top of the females.
