Thanks, and B. smithi are pretty easy to work with too. About a year and half after that picture that male matured and she eventually ended up eating him. I paired them 5 times and am hoping for a sac, but I never confirmed a successful insert. Fingers are crossed.

this is probably a silly question but i must ask how did u get them to stay like that while you took the picture.

B. smithi are (generally speaking) docile enough to do that with.

Definitely not recommended if you're new to the hobby.

Yes, we have a MM. My Smithi was sold to me as a Female, but I'm
keeping my fingers crossed until she?? has another molt.
