So today was the 2nd succesful attempt out of three. This time there was a lot of drumming going on, yet she jumped at him as if she hasn't eaten in months, but he was quicker and put her in the "trance" hehe.















Later,

Jake

The male and female look pretty close to the same size. How big are they? I've got 2 females, one 5.75" and one 6.5" if he makes it through the 3rd hookup.

Feedback: Very nice pics! Wish mine could come out as clear. Good luck with the coupling.

Eric - When I said 2nd successful hook up out of three I meant that one was unsuccessful and two were successful. The male is 7" and the female is a little larger than 6"...he was also mated with another female which is about 5" (credit to Gary on that event). According to Gary the male is around 8 months mature (Gary, correct me if I'm wront). I will do another mating next weekend and I think that'll be the last one...I'm pretty sure she got his sperm by now. So if you want him after that let me know.

Wow! Big male. Pretty old but probably still "good" if he is building sperm webs.

We are such a strange bunch. Can you imagine going to a dog fancier board and seeing whole series of pics of someone's bulldog pair going at it? :)

Well, no matter how strange it makes me, this is a sight I like to see. One of the finest species in the hobby for size, looks, and temperament. I particularly like the size of the male, much larger than many I've seen pictured.

I agree code monkey...awesome species...very beautiful too.

I think I posted this picture before but here it is again so you guys can see the size of this male. 7" if he would stretch out his back legs more.

In his normal stance I'll give him 6" but not 7". Still a big guy. You could say 7" if you grabbed and pulled his legs.

Great pics And good luck to ya.

Keep putting him with her as many times as they will hook up and be prepared for it to take a while before any sack dropping occurs.
