Caught the male on breeder loan from Mark S doing his thing earlier this week. :eek:




Today I paired them at 3:30 pm in the bath tub. The from the start, the whole mating took a bit over 20 minutes. I couldn't tell how many insertions but he did well.

Nice photos, Manny. Fingers crossed for a sac!

Why did you choose the bathtub over the female's enclosure?

WOW! Those are some awesome pictures. I'm glad they don't get moody when they are mating and have a camera crew. Good luck on some slings :clap:

Becca, because not all my female spiders get a suite. ;)

JT, they were just too into it to notice. At one point though they did stay still for a good minute after I took a picture. I think they enjoyed posing. {D

Chris, sure and if she lays a sac you will trade me a few? ;P
