the prob is hes trying to hit up his sister.

his claspers arent full curled yet... i thought i had a little more time to get another tank but....

anyone had an immature (looking) male get a girl prego b4?

ill get some clasper pics tomorrow
 
If claspers arent rolled not possible, All he will do is damage the female and cause stress. Better to remove him and wait till he matures and then introduce him to some females.

interesting, maybe he is horny enough. but may not be matured to produce a sperm sack.

im going to seperate as soon as possible... i saw him on top of her tryin to stick her but he kept missing. i havent seen any sperm yet so i hope i can get this new tank running quick...

these r the two leo/hens from u mike. i cant belive they r tryin to breed already... i think they r only about 1 yr old... maybe a little more depending on how long u had them b4 me...
 
until you see some bites i wouldn't worry about it

i have seen many non mature males just jump on females backs trying to pump

they need to learn how to flip the female over
 
it is indeed impossible for an immature male to breed, however, if your male has produced potent sperm it is, therefore, mature.

he had the motions down already... he took two big chunks out of her disk. when i caught them, he had her flipped and was tryin to stick her but kept missing...
