Those erebennus always bred EARLY, like earlier than any of my other Drys. They bred a lot, and then the male lost interest.



If you have not started cycling them, START NOW



Adjust daylight hours to about 10 day 14 night, and cool them to about 60-65F at night if you can. I take them as low as 55 at night as long as they are warmed back up during the day. They will continue to feed. Feed smaller meals less often, but they have never had a problem digesting food...even with the cool nights.



If you do that for a couple weeks...they will breed like crazy if you start introducing them in early November. The male has never tried to make a meal of her...and always seems to know just what to do with her. But of course be careful.



I'm cooling my couperi now...I will be breeding just 2 girls this year, one is the solid black female that I think you saw, she's close to 7' now, the other is a first-time breeder, 3.5 year old...very very RED phase. I have 3 males to work them over!
