Hello.
With conditions just right I went ahead with pairing these guys up.
Temperature: 79 Degrees F
Humidity:77%
Lighting Conditions: Dimmed
Male was placed into the females enclosure using the "cupping" method. But with a BIGGER cup.....LMAO!
The male instantly picked up on the females scent. He initiated the mating by some drumming very shortly. The female walked toward him and lifted her front legs and pedipalps. No fangs were bared so I didn't interfere. He gently tounched her frong 2 set up legs slowly lifting her and walked her backwards slightly just enough to pull her abdomen closer to him.
He made 4 insertions and started lowering her down. Once that happend I took him out and placed him back into his enclsure for future breeding attempt.
Here are a small series of pics showing what happend..... to view the whole mating sequence..please visit my link below in my signature and look for the Theraphosa breeding album
Enjoy!
