Great pic. I just bred my female this week. The male was on a 50/50 loan. they were together twice and he built a sperm web between the two tries. She ate him right after the second try.

There was much more size difference in the two I bred. the male was 3 1/2-4 inches while the female was 6+ inches. How big are the Ts in the pic?

thanks for the kind words everybody! I agree Rosehaired1979, they are easy to breed. They were snuggling for a good long while and the male kept drumming on the female's carapace even after they were done doing their thing which is what he was doing in that picture. Eventually the male got bored and wandered out of the box. The girl never showed any ill feelings at all, just when I put the lid back on. :)

To David Burns:
They both were around the same size in leg span; the male at about 4 inches and the female around 5 inches.
