Well look at what I found today......
Conditions
Temperature: 80 Degrees F
Humidity:69%
Lighting Conditions: Dimmed
Female Holothele sp. "Norte de Santander" Info: 3 1/2" Female molted on 6/14/2008. And she has been mated a total of 6 times over the course of a month and a half
Male Holothele sp. "Norte de Santander"Info: 3" Matured Male. molted on 5/23/08
Male was placed into the females enclosure and settled down on the substrate for several minutes. He started to walk over to her but then stoped a bit then approached the female from behind...
The female instantly turned toward him did some short drumming. He initiated the mating by some drumming very shortly while "twitching". man it was wierd...
He then dummed a bit more and lifted her front legs. He gently tounched her front 2 set of legs slowly lifting her and walked her backwards slightly just enough to pull her abdomen closer to him. While doing this he used his pedipalps to drum rapidly on her belly while lifting her up and arching her backwards.
Sac laid 9/18/2008
Here is mom with her sac..
