Started my breeding project yesterday normal female x spider male

So I noticed the same temperment change in my normal female as I did this time last year in my normal female. Finicky eater, hissing again when I open up her tub which is NOT her norm. So I'm like wth? Them I'm like Oooooh! ok! So I put the spider male in with her last night and this is what I got withing 15 min. Enjoy the picts. :) http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...10925-0228.jpg

Very cool, good luck producing some spidies!

Good luck. Hope u get lots of spiders

They didn't waste any time did they?

Congrats! Our spider is a busy boy as well right now. Good luck! :gj:

Your observations on temperament change with the female rang a bell here with me. One of my pastel breeder girls started acting the same way a couple weeks ago and I didn't know why. I bet you're on to something so I'm going to pair her tonite and see what happens. Thanks!

Megarea is a very docile snake, never does she hiss, or thrash her body to one side like she did. She really does enjoy being taken out when I have to clean out her tub she's always wrapping herself around my arm and now I had to tap her with a hook then my hand? Oh hells nah!!! So in went the male, I figured she needed a lil sumth'n sumth'n!!!! As soon as I put him in there she started tapping her tail on the tub, I should have taken a video, just thought of it, grrrr. He coiled around her and was all over her and wam!!! Locked in 15 minutes!!!! I hope to see some pretties!!! So yeah definately, oh and one other thing she herself was keeping to the cooler side of the tub not wanting the warmer side :)

Good luck with your project, hope to see picts of your pairings :D

So as they keep going I will continue to post these awesome pictures. Tell me if you guys get tired of seeing the pictures and I will stop posting them. ;)

She's telling you it's breeding time and time to feed her more ;)

Something that strikes me weird is when people thinking a female going off feed is a sign she's wanting to breed :confused:
My females want to take a bite out of me and are ravenous about this time of year, time to feed up so they throw good eggs!
I cringe when they go off feed or get picky at this time of the year :rage:

Good luck with your season, hope you get a bunch of webbed snakies :)
