Mating Photos - Brachypelma smithi

[becca81]

Probably one of the shortest matings I've ever witnessed. From the time I put the male in the female's enclosure until he ran out was about 3.5 minutes.

From what I could see, the male did appear to get some insertions. He started bouncing/drumming almost as soon as I put him in the tank.

A few pictures. Also a short video in which the music (not planned, btw), provided by a toy of my son's playing in the background, seems very appropriate. The video shows the subtle drumming/bouncing that he does.
