your mature male will probably last 6 months to a year after his molt. The female is definitely ready to breed and I wouldn't wait too much longer either. The window for breeding Brachy species to my understanding is about a month. After breeding there is a cooldown time where you need to put the female in around 65 degrees for a around a month. Then after that you warm her back up to the warmer 75-80 temp. The process will end up taking around 9 months... the reward will be a sack of 500-1000 babies... if she doesn't eat her sack.
