I put my IJ's together lastnight and when I checked on them tonight they were breeding. How long should I leave them together? many thanks

Ian

I leave mine together until the female's obviously gravid. My female jungle has been showing some mid-body swelling, but has been spending most of her time on the perch tangled up w/ the male I paired her with this year. It's been hard to tell if it's her positioning, or if she's gravid, so they'll be together until I'm sure

The more I look, the more I think the answer is YES! Shy little buggers.....only caught them in the act once!

does it seem to early for breeding? before I put them together I had read a few articules and it ha seemed most breeders would wait another month or so. Well I guess these two had there own time line. lol as always thanks capt. by the way the macks I have are getting bigger and less fierce, well sometimes.lol

I started a little early this year...Womas were cruising and my male was hooked up within minutes of introduction. When that happened, I started cooling the room down. Normally, I'd introduce the carpets during the warm-up, but after talking to a few people, I decided to experiment this year. My jungles apparently opted for the early start, while my Jag female and HCQ want nothing to do w/ each other. We'll see what happens.

Good news on the Macklot's and good luck
