Did a little early morning pairing today.
Brachypelma vagans- Went good, male forced female into hide and got alot of insertions before bolting out, and then freaking out as i had to chase him across the floor lol.
Lampropelma nigerrimum- Went good, female was very willing, even after refusing to eat last night. Male got in two very fast insertions. Then i had a heck of a time getting a enraged 6" female Lampro off the floor and back into her enclosure.
Tapinauchenius violaceus- Went good, figured id let him give her a little more sperm in hopes she will double clutch. She is such a doll, she walked slowly to him with her little webbers tucked up under her abdomen. He got some nice long insertions.
Avicularia versicolor #3- Went good, they was in a wierd angle the whole time, so male only got 1 insertion.
Avicularia versicolor #1- Almost went good until i noticed she was still eating, so i took the male out.
Avicularia versicolor #2- Went good, male got in many long insertions, with around 4 pairings total.
I first paired the Lampropelma nigerrimum and Brachypelma vagans at the same time. Then i paired The Avicularia versicolor #3. Then i paired the Avicularia versicolor #2 and Tapinauchenius violaceus at the same time. Its always fun when you are sitting indian style on the floor, with 4 spiders all pairing at the same time. Gotta keep both eyes on both pairs at the same time. I was able to tell the females were ok with pairing, so didnt have any problems.
