G. pulchra mating

[padkison]

Fun pics to look at, but doubtful anything happened. The male matured last August and after a few weeks made sperm webs. However, he only made 2-3 webs and quit. He has not bothered to eat or web since last October. I am puzzled as to why he burned out so quick. He was able to mate well with one female and hopefully a second, but I am not going to even bother cooling this 3rd female. He had her up for several minutes but his pedipalp insert attempts were few and very half-hearted. I am pretty sure he did not connect. I gave up waiting for him to make a web. Need T Viagra

He's a big boy, female's about 5".

Beautiful spiders. I hope the mating goes well and leads to bunches of babies. Will you be getting half of the slings? If so, are you going to be selling any? Good luck either way and I hope all goes well for you and your boy.
