the male is definitely more adventurous while the female very shy.

they were eating freshly killed before me so that I what I think could be the main problem.

I am also having a bit of trouble keeping stable temps.

I am gonna build a rack soon so I can make sure conditions are right.

I am keeping them apart of course, and have tried not to handle them as I want them to get into a regular feeding schedule first .

I do heat the F/t rat up first but still the female has shown no interest.

Priority is to get them into their new rack and make sure conditions are gr8

worry?give it more time?what you think?

I've bolded the two parts to consider. The biggest concern is that you can't keep stable temps. This is the MAIN issue, and it needs addressed first. I understand that you want to build a rack for them, but we need to get them in stable temps first ASAP. What kind of enclosure are you currently using? Aquarium? tub? etc? How are you heating it? How are you regulating the temps? Do you have a thermostat? What temps are you currently having? Do you have a warm side and a cool side at 92 and 82 approximately? What humidity are you maintaining? How do you measure the temps?

These are all considerations and we probably won't be able to help you much without additional info.
