Theopropus elegans

[Smithers]

There’s little to no information on this species. I found one source that says females molt 8 times and males only molt 6. Is this true? I’m trying to figure it out so I can slow the males down when needed for breeding later down the road.

It probably is true, but if you keep the males just a bit cooler than the females and feed less, even if they don't have fewer molts they will mature around the same time, or the males right after the females, which is ideal.

I got some information on a group on Facebook about them. There essentially just like hymenopus coronatus with different humidity requirements.
