Some Major Tarantula Lovin'

So yesterday evening (15/7/2016) I put my newly acquired male Theraphosa blondi into the enclosure of my recently molted young adult female and about 15 minutes of this ensued:

Not visible in the video but I have witnessed a few insertions I think. Finally, the female had enough and the male backed into his enclosure without incident.


I will try again after a fresh sperm web and feeding. But fingers crossed!

Interesting, best of luck with the breeding. Sure would like to see some babies. :)

Thanks mate. Breeding these is easy but getting a good egg sack is very difficult...

Trial number two after a fresh spermweb. I set up the Go-pro and everything but she ended it pretty quickly. I don't think there were any insertions but I don't know. Male is perfectly fine.

Just looking at the still for the video in the first post....How appropriate that the male has kicked a bald patch in the shape of a heart?! :giggle:
