Well I've had about 4 hours sleep Laughing

I was watching them with my phones light pretty much all night. And the good news is they seem to have made it through the night lol. He did mount her once but it wasn't successful.
Now it's the morning and they are sleeping under the same leaf so it can't be bad.

Little update, all is going well with these 2 now. When I put them together on the 3rd July the male weighed 31.1g and the female 44.5g
At last nights weigh in the male was 36.4g and the female 47.2g so they are both putting on weight.

I'm hoping to find some eggs at the start of next month.

Haha well there is always a bowl of fruit paste in the tank. And then a couple of times a week I throw in about 5-6 calcium dusted roaches. I can never find the roaches the next day so I presume they are all getting eaten.

Although the last couple of days huge moths have been flying into our bathroom so the cresties got those. I can't believe how crazy they go for moths.

And finally I didn't think my guy was growing much until he hit about 25g, since then he's seemed to fill out and every time I weigh him he's heavier.

Its been a while since i weighed mine and i haven't weighed my new additions at all yet. I think i might have to get the scales out tonight.

Well I weigh mine a couple of times a month and they've only put on about 2 grams each in the last 2 months! Maybe they're both due for a growth spurt! Cool
