I have 2 fluffy camel spiders which I've recently moved into a new enclosure with more space. I don't have any problem with maintaining their environment, but I have a few questions as to some of their behaviour.
From what I can gather from information I've been digging around on here and other threads is that I think one is male(?) and one is definitely female. The female is more chunky, shorter legs, brighter colour, and the male has a longer and slightly slimmer abdomen, longer legs, and is nearly always feisty. He's got a proper attitude but they both live in the same conditions, same depth sand, eat the same things, live at the same temperature and hide, they both eat really well.. The different is she's a bit more mellow and he's a bit of a d1ck haha!
Are there any tell-tale signs that either of them would be of age to mate? Or if there are any signs to know that they are interested in one another? Does the female kill the male afterwards? What behaviour should I look out for? How do they show agitation/ interest? What's good and bad? What's the likelihood of this actually working? I'm never putting them into the same enclosure unless I'm more certain they'd react well as I don't want them to fight or kill eachother. It might happen anyway, successful or not, but I won't risk it if its not possible. I love those two and they're my pride and joy.
They're in a deep lunchbox that has two completely seperate sections with no way of them getting into eachothers side. They can see eachother and I'm hoping this will make them more aware and interested in eachother without just letting them be together. I also would need to know how looking after them would be, and what I'd need to do. Maybe it's wishful thinking, and we'll get to that bridge when we come to it, but I'd love to know in advance and expand my knowledge. Would anybody be able to give me some advice, or know anything that might be useful? Thank you!
