I really wish you good luck. Really need more of these in the hobby. Their color is just amazing and ones I seek after more experience.

The male will most likely be eaten upon re-entry into her cage.

Sorry, the boy isn't mine, and his owner has some others lined up if he makes it past my two females. And yes you are right, they are extremly hard to find! KTBG may have one by now. I hit him up and he said to check back soon, that he may have some coming in. Good luck.

I have 4 L.Violaceopes juvies .i think one is a male .the rest i dont know but look at my picture thread .
when they mature i will breed them.

Hey Gary, how big is that MM? I ask because my male violaceopes molted a few weeks ago and I thought that he'd mature, but he didnt. Hes well over 5 inches.

I would estimate him to be anywhere between 5.5 and 6 inches.

Thanks,
Jake

I know the female is a liitle of 7" from her past molt, so he is smaller then that. So lets say around 6".

Ok, thanks.

Here is the second attempt. As you can see I tried to replicate their natural enviornment as best as I could

Very smart doing it on neutral ground. Better odds for the male!

Gary,
looking at your first vid,
I think male had a good shot at fertilize your female
and very much possible he did it
female looked very receptive
usually males clean palps after discharging, and if he did
and that is a pretty good indicator that insert been made
Good luck with a project

Hey Ana,

I would have thought that by watching the video also. I'm not saying it's not possible, but unlikely. What you didn't see was after I stopped recording, the female continued to tap and leave her container. It appeared she was still looking for him.
