I just paired my pair of Avicularia avicularia . I wish had filmed it. Last last two pairings had physical hookups lasting around the fifteen to thirty second mark before the girl ran off.

I power fed her the last week and decided to pair them up again tonight. They started out particularly frisky and ran around together. I "shark tank" her 1g enclosure in a five gallon, placing the lid on top when they've left the 1g. That way they can separate without me having to babysit. However, I babysat anyways.

I'm intrigued because this took a very long time. The time it took his tibial apophyses to meet and leave her fangs was LITERALLY about four or five minutes. Is this normal? I thought it was supposed to be quick. It seemed almost as if they were making love, not just depositing sperm to get it over with..but I know that's not the case.

Is a five minute hookup normal?
