Males tend to "pull" them inside some but unless they were injured if you look you will see them.If you look on each side just above his vent you will see them ;)

If you notice some little "dried up glue looking" things coming from his vent those are sperm plugs.Yea i will probably get a few comments on my description here but hey its still family accepted :cool:

Did some research, saw some photos. I get it now... ;)

The female lays 75% (or more) of her own weight in eggs

Actually it's more like 1/3 of her weight or about 30-35%.
