I am new to breeding, and this was my second attempt at pairing two tarantulas.
I paired my irminias the other day, introducing the MM to the female’s enclosure, and what initially seemed like a friendly and receptive female ended in her consuming the male, just as soon as he touched her epigastric furrow. I’m not sure if he penetrated or not, it happened so quick and it seemed like an automatic reflex. In anyone else's experience, is there a chance that this could be successful?
I do have a video from the encounter, but it is graphic and I really feel horrible about it. I will reluctantly share it if anyone wants to see…
