Broken mature male?

He just had to get his confidence up with pep talks in the mirror.

And just like that, I reintroduce him to the first female and he confidently pairs with successful insertion, on three different occasions, at least that I observed



Maybe it was the thunderstorm we had today that granted better humidity, or maybe he just felt like I had suffered enough. Either way I have at least one mated female now!

Good for you! My MM N. incei took some convincing as well. He half-heartedly drummed at the female then walked away the first two times I tried, but the third time he finally worked up the nerve to mate with her.

As of today, we officially have a sac made honestly could've been there all week and I only saw it now given the thickness of the webbing.

Hopefully it's a good one. Seems a little small compared to the Chromatopelma sac produced last year, but the female certainly isn't massive by any means. Should typical avic conditions of dry and well ventilated be alright, or should there be a little more moisture involved now that she's sealed away with it?

If the cage was more moist and stuffy the egg sack might be at risk of rotting.

That was also my thought, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't at serious risk of drying out.

Congrats on the sac
