Mating on 12-29-05. My female paired with male on loan from Surena. Female and male both approx. 5" legspan.
Male placed in "transfer container" and moved beside the female's container. He was prodded towards her and after a few moments of being in her container began drumming. Female came out from behind her webbing and also began drumming.
No aggression showed by either male or female. They mated 3 seperate times with obvious breaks inbetween each "session." The female was very willing and immediately got into position each time and the male drummed on her underside before an insertion. From the time he entered her enclosure to the time he was back in the transfer container was about 30 minutes.
Hopefully I will be able to update this post with good news at some point in the not-too-distant future.
