Re: question?

She's emitting pheromones that are driving your T.s. infernalis nuts. As long as he can smell her, he's going to want to mate. You'll end up with intergraded T.s. infernalis x T.s. concinnus babies if you don't separate them (if it's not already too late). Yet, the infernalis male will probably become a finnicky eater for a while (a month or so) after he's removed if he's not allowed to mate. You can look for a "mating plug" in/around her cloaca to confirm whether the've already bred or not, or if you have a compound microscope, you can do a cloacal swab and look for moving sperm. The "shimmer" in the light. Best,
Rick
