[QUOTE="Austin S., post: 93662, member: 5088"] When did the female last molt? From my experience, GBB females are only in cycle to mate about 3 weeks to a month after molting. If a female is 4 months post molt or more, she probably will not be receptive. However, I received a mature female 2 months ago. She molted 2 weeks before she was sent to me. She was not receptive towards my male at all after 5 attempts. Three days ago she molted again. That's two molts for a 5" female in less than 4 months. Sometimes introducing a mature male will trigger a molt for the female. It's happened quite a bit with me with various species. My guess is, is that she will molt in a month. Last ditch effort - Try pouring water (in a rain mimicking motion) all over her tank, then introduce the male 45 minutes later. Keep temperature around 85. [/QUOTE]
