I bought this pair in late April 07 and they were already conditioned and ready to breed. She was bred from early May through June 25th. 4 breedings with a total of 9 good inserts. And each mating took place after sperm web remains were thought to have been seen. She was moved into cool down July 1st where she will remain till the middle of Aug. Ill keep updating as I can. She has gained tons of weight with no food intake so it's looking good so far! Here are a few pics.

Lol it's funny that it went this long before someone saw that. I used a premolt smithi female to warm up the male. He was the biggest wimp ever, but after some footsie with the smithi he stepped up to the plate with the baum female. Mating was not allowed to occur between the male baum and the female smithi. Crossing the two was never a goal, the smithi female was just the fluffer.
