Hows this for a mega quick mating....
Species Brachypelma vagans ( Mexican Red Rump )
4pm start of sperm web build
5pm start of palp charging
6.08 end of palp charging
6.12 male transfered to neutral tank where female is placed & immediately begins mating cycle, good 4 inserts, female 25% smaller than male.
both specimens moulted in early/mid October gone, so good chance of successful mating.
This is the same male that has taken 12 years to mature, female same age.
