About a year ago I got (4) 3-4 month old orange terribilis, so that makes them about 13-14 months old. I have one calling male, one probable female, one possible female, and one yet to be determined. The male has been calling for a little over a month, softly and infrequently at first but now louder and consistently.
Today I noticed the probable female responding to his calls. He calls, she follows, he hops away and calls again, she follows, etc... even saw a couple of back stroking attempts before he hopped away again. The possible female comes to the call sometimes but doesn't follow. The one yet to be determined has turned in the direction of the calling male, but most often just sits there.
I know typically females don't reach sexual maturity til 18-24 months, but do they show courting behavior earlier? or is the probable female reaching sexual maturity early?
