Mature male breeding questions.

[jrh3]

Breeders:
Do you normally hang on to the male after pairing or offer it to others with females?

If the female produces a sac is there a chance that the male will still be good after she makes it to next molt cycle and is ready for pairing again?

Just wondering as I have a few extra mature males that I am sure someone else could use, but then again if they are still producing sperm webs by the next time the female is ready, I could just keep and pair again.

Should I just seek a fresh male when ready?

Whats some thoughts on this?

Males are potent for about 3-4 months after maturity, usually. One male can pair with many females in his time of virility

It's unlikely that a male can pair with the same female after she drops a sac and molts, he may not last that long, and if he does he may be impotent

I offer them up after pairing. If no one is interested I spoil the hell out of them from there on. Truly veterans of war in their own right.
