Bred successfully 4/15/05
Sharkbaited the male with the female as soon as he arrived on Tuesday. No sperm webs were witnessed by the owner or by myself, but I figured he may be loaded, so I would give it a try. Put the male in with the female earlier during the day, both ran off and wanted nothing to do with each other. So I decided to try a bit later, around 8:20pm. The male proceeded to the female, who slowly turned around once she noticed his presence...I had an incent holder between them, and I moved it just enough so they touched legs, then there was NO holding him back! LOL. He went right under it, and I moved it...he grabbed her carapace and started drumming on it, and then he worked her legs up enough to get her hooked, which took a minute or 2 due to the fact that she was up on the wall. Once he got it, he went under slowly...and did his insertions He was out of there in about 5 seconds!
Will wait to see the result. And hopefully he'll breed again with some of my other girls
Added: A. anax mated again, same female, same male 4/18/05.
