The one you think is gravid may not be gravid, it could just be fat pads. I have been fooled many times in the past. I assume that when you say "6x ish" you mean 60 grams or so, not 6, right? 40 grams is a bit low on weight for the male, who may still need to be growing and will stop eating while he's thinking about breeding (though if it's an intro and then leave, I guess it's not that big a deal). I can't tell you much about how often to introduce because I leave my males and females together full time, but I would think that one breeding may be good for an average of 3 clutches. I hope that helps, and "you're welcome".
