The female started off by rushing across her enclosure with her fangs bared.:eek: Fortunately, it appears that she was just eager to mate.:)

We witnessed 2 inserts with the same palp before he backed off and casually climbed out of her enclosure.

"Gimme a break!"

The photos above were taken last night with one of my females. Today I went by Bryan's (Cronoss) and tried the male with his female. She was willing, but he retreated each time after lifting her up. I guess he needs a little R&R between booty calls. :)

Edit: I figured he would need to construct another sperm web, but I wanted to see if he would use the other palp that he neglected to use last night.


This is about as close as it got with Bryan's girl...

Without actually measuring (that would be itchy) I would guess about 8". They are very leggy.

Thanks for the wishes of luck, Jake and Miz M.:)

I was thinking of preserving this guy myself. I have a HUGE female that a friend of mine is currently helping me to preserve. It might be nice to have a male to go along with her. I'll let you know if I change my mind though. Of course, this all hinges on the outcome of his future mating attempts. He has at least 3 more females to visit.

Well the Cheapest I have seen is a 4" around $100 so and slings are hard to find to most ppl sell are juv. to adults. Finding a sling IME is like finding a needle in a haystack lol because I am still looking for a 1" to 2"

Nice pictures and love the red and purple highlights the male has! I'm hoping my young fellow will be as sharp looking and be seeing that amount of action once he matures. Best of luck on having a successful sac or 2
