I believe there was a species where they all shared the same cream colour "ghost T" Anyway, here is a better pic of one of my males for you.
They remind me of pictures I saw of a T called Phlogius sp. "pq 113" a while ago.
If she punctures him there is no saving him and you might as well let the female have a good meal. Now if she just gets a leg then he would would be fine to mate again. There will be females who will attack before he even has a chance to drum, some will let him walk away and some will try to eat him after the deed; you can try your best to save him but sometimes the female is way faster than you are.
I don't breed either but when I watched I thought the female had to be 'placed' into her burrow to allow the person mating them to have his hands near the middle/bottom of enclosure to get the male into his tub.I didn't understand why spoon used was metal instead of wood; and why female needed to be corralled back into her burrow before lid could be placed back on.
Still enjoyed watching the video though.
Is it obvious I don't breed? lol
No, sometimes the males do get crunched, phlogius species are quite easy to breed though so it doesn't happen too much, happens a lot with new worlds though. they breed quite aggressively.
Yeah I have seen it sometimes, I have seen some huge males (7 inches) with much younger females (around 5 inches), it's rare though and most people here don't breed their girls until 6+
