E. cyanognathus attempt.
How did the pairing attempt work out? 🤞 for you.
She never drummed or anything like that, but as he kept dancing for her, I watched her chelicerae slowly spread and her fangs begin to extend. I know females will do that for males to engage their hooks, but the behavior was different. She clearly seemed irritated so I split them up. She bit the wooden spoon I used to separate them, so I think it was the right call. I’ll try again in a week.

Good luck. Keep trying 😊
 
They paired successfully on the second attempt, sac was laid and pulled at 30 days to find 36 healthy first instars.
