I got a pair of mature Green Huntsman from Chris at Krazy 8's. I put both of their containers, which are approximately 1/2 gallon set ups for arboreals, inside of a larger glass tank with a screen top. I just removed both lids of the individual containers and let them be.

Over the course of about a week, they were sitting in various parts of the outer tank, and sometimes going back into their own containers, and then back out again. I did not witness any mating. The female was well-fed on lateralis roaches, and the male had refused food. I will co-habitate them again in a week or two, and then it's just a matter of waiting.

I just read it and I'm sorry to hear what happened. I hope you get another male soon and that you get a sac out of her with it.

That is the male, very flashy indeed. The females are an overall dull green, but make up for it in size. My *hopefully gravid* female is about 7" LS.
