Yeah, I agree. Those Ts are very good looking. I've been thinking about getting a female of this species, but I'm not sure.. They're kind of expensive and grow slower than king babboons, but not as slow as red knees.. But, alas, a great T overall
I know what you mean. A couple of years ago I mated them, and had no trouble at all with the mating part. But then nothing happened--no eggsac, and no molt either, for nearly 2 years! Talk about keeping the suspense level up.

Hey Joy,
I'm almost afraid to ask, but did the male survive the mating process? I usually try to save most G.Pulchra pics that I come across so I can say to my friends "Few years from now, and there's Peso". But I honestly have to say those might be the nicest Pulchras I've seen so far in my hunt. Their coloration is awesome; almost jet black. They look great. They're also very appropriate for Halloween
Yes, he survived, though he wouldn't have if the female had had her way! I just caught him making a new sperm web today, so will put him back in with #1 female (the one in the picture is #2) once I've fed her up a bit.
Holley, it will be interesting to see if your male reacts differently to my females. It's amazing how differently they can respond to different (but seemingly identical) partners. The presence of Susan's male, too, may be a stimulant. I personally have had a much higher mating success rate with multiple males--100% except for the time I tried it with C. crawshayi. THAT was a circus!
Praying for fertility,
Paul
