Hi!
I have a question (maybe two)
Since i have found that my backyard is like the Sphaerobothria Hoffmanni distribution zone for my entire neighborhood i was thinking about a breeding project... i have one confirmed female (molted october 7, 4.5") and two more small ones unsexed (one looks male, other looks female but not sure yet) of about the same size (almost 2"), the question is, if one of the small ones grows adult male (they develop hooks at front legs when mature) at what point can i try to mate them after the female molted? right after molt, about 1 month later? 3 months....?
I'll have to wait for the small ones to grow adults (they get about 4.5" fully grown) before trying of course but just want to be informed in case i found an adult male wandering around here (found two of them dead last year outside thanks to the dog :wall: )
