Hello!
So my first pairing with my girl was on 07/11/10
And the girl gave me a surprise my molting on the 13th.
A week later, I super fed her (8 crickets) and mated them, and 4 insertions were seen
The next day, two insertions were seen, but the female seemed angry and sort of flicked her whole upper body and male got scared and ran away.
male keeps making spermwebs, and so today I paired them again, and more agressive behaviors from the female... does this denote sucessful mating?
Anyways, I tapped her out of her little dome house, which made her angry but not defensive, and I put the male inside.
This was a coerced contact but ended sucessfully with 2 very good insertions.
Anyways, My questions is, should I leave the guy in there?
I feed them both quite well and even male is eating once in a while, so should I guess everything is going well?
What I'm worried about is her defensive/offensive behaviors toward the male, which some suggests will lead to male being vitiated and a big sac :? so please tell me if other irminia breeders observed this behavior.
The flicking behavior is sort of like a p. murinus's defensive posture, which involves the first two pairs of legs risen up with the barred fangs. The female violently thumps on the ground about 2-3 times in about .5 second~ 1 second interval.
Thanks for reading and help me out here!
Oh and yes, water and humidity, as well as temperature is high- moderate, and lighting is only done during obervations.
