| Ok, well it took my female 2 weeks after molting before she finally decided to eat ANYTHING. So I finally got some food in here and I paired her with the MM I have. He's been paired with another female and she may be getting ready to drop a sac. Well I paired them the first time and the female kept walking around the cage and the male would twitch a bit, not even drumming, just his front legs twitched a bit. Then he decided to leave and I took this as a sign they weren't ready. So I gave them a few days and tried again, They spent 3 hours playing footsie together, and each time she started to lift up a bit he would back off. Finally I couldn't sit around and watch any more. So I decided to leave them together, she's housed in a large KK and I had it sitting in a large tote and I put the lid on and left for a few hours. When I got back the male was on the wall of the tote and the female sitting in her enclosure. So I'm not sure if they bred or not, but I'm going to keep trying. I only took two pics during the first pairing just to show size difference. If anything exciting happens when I pair them next(soon hopefully) I'll get pics if I can. | |

That's what happened with the two I had. All they wanted to do was play footsie. I gave up after a few times. | |

| Paired them again, and more footsies going on, decided to leave them together with her enclosure inside the tote, I fed her 3 or 4 crickets last night. She's 5"+ and he's more like 4" very small legs as you can see from the pics. I took one more after letting him out of the deli cup.. | |

| Well I had left these guys alone and when I checked on them, he was still in her enclosure, as was she, but they were in different spots, they weren't even moving, so I decided to leave them alone longer and the next time I checked on them, I saw a leg on the side of her enclosure and she was eating the rest of him. I hope he did something. | |

| I thought about taking him out the first time I checked on him, but I hadn't see a sperm web, and he stopped eating, and they weren't doing anything so I decided if he didn't do his thing, he'd at least make a nice meal for her while I find another, bigger male. | |
