Hm, I wonder if he would be fertile. 2.5 years is a long time for a mm!
Highly doubt he's in any condition to mate, though he might still be fertile. I think a female wouldn't give him a second thought before making him lunch. It's a shame he was my second T or I might have loaned him out
Interesting. You're probably right as he is pretty old. I introduced my male to my female yesterday, just curious if he could mate. I was surprised when he went right to business and got it done. It also could be the reason he made a sperm web today. Seems he still has it in him! Also, I should note that this guy eats a lot, more than my female G. rosea.
Me too, but G. rosea's take forever... The first mating between my pair was last year, Nov-Dec.
. After that first mating attempt she started making burrows like crazy, always digging and making tunnels, something she had never done before. I still have that same male and would like to try again.
That's too bad, hope you get it this time around! Go for it with the male.My first attempt at mating was last July. Went well, female dropped eggs about 27 days later. Weird thing was she never completed the sac so the eggs dried out
