Thanks very much Justin!!! That helps a lot. I wasn't sure what was going on...do they 'glow' before becoming gravid frequently?
Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely keep putting them together...but I'm not desperate for eggs this year. Mind you, when I say two times a day, I mean a quick glance as I run out of my room at 7am and a longer look around 9pm, so there's plenty of opportunity...or at least, I suppose.
XD And if I was to get an older male...he'd be a spider. (Or a lesser but I know it's a pipe dream to find an affordable breedable lesser boy!)
But in any case...thanks for the response!
