K so starting this one a bit late, but i figured it would be handy to keep my dates accordingly, and to visually update the loaner of the MM.
I bought my 5" female A.avic from a member here back in August right after her molt. A couple weeks went by, and i met up locally with a member to start a breeding project.
The member had a MM that was the same size as my girl, and we tried pairing once with no luck.
I had to leave town for a month, and the member watched my girl until the end of September, and supposedly attempted to pair a few other times.
Fast forward to Mid-December (12/19/12) i recieved a 3 1/2" maximum MM from kyahalhai21311 and immediately went to the pairing attempt.
This male was in the enclosure for nearly 1 minute and began vibrating. My girl was very quick to turn on the male and began drumming back very animatedly. Something she did NOT do at all with the previous MM i tried using.
This new male got very long insertions with both palps and i pulled him. I tried again about a week later with nothing, so i gave it another week then tried again. The 3rd hook up was successful as well, even though the female was not so enthused.
The male was safely shipped back to Russell and will be likely seeing his female sooner or later
Anyways, i always knew that these guys were fairly quick to drop, but dang... its been 39 days so far, and her enclosure looks like this
