I was just joking! It happens, and I personally think it hapens for a reason. If he WANTS to live, he will beat it out of there... that's what he did before.

My male b. vagans was a sad sight. His opisthoma looked like a peanut. He was scarred from previous breedings, but couldn't molt the scars off. He was slow, and when he tried to breed, his palps didn't even come CLOSE to the female's opisthoma. There was a discussion on the boards about letting Ts eat other Ts that got me thinking.

I had no idea if he was suffering or not, but it SEEMED like he was. He was sitting in an enclosure, hardly moivng, waiting to die. So, I put him in with the female and left him there. They "mated" up a storm, as best as he could, and then she ate him. He had 8 days of pure bliss! I actually felt relieved that he went quickly with a minimum of suffering.

My personal opinion is that, in the wild, if he is not fast enough or if he is not inclined to beat a hasty retreat, then perhaps he is READY to be eaten to nourish the female that he just mated with to ensure his offspring's survival.
