So .. I am a first time branching into the breeding side. I have an 07 normal female, not really the biggest female (1500) but ... I think just from what I have read and what I have seen, it is worth a go at least. testing the waters with some trial and error, guessing and hoping.

Anyway, I paired her with a Spider male. First try it was like middle school .. the picked a corner and just sat there. I separated them, waited a few days. Feeding day comes around, both refuse ... so I don't know if it is a for sure sign, or if females do it of if it is just the male ... but I was like .. "hmmm .. "

On a whim, not expecting anything, checked my setup and put them together. One thing I noticed right away was they were like .. crawling all over each other. Again, not sure if that is good .. or just coincidence, just that I noticed the difference. Today at lunch, I checked it out.

We have lock. Good .. solid lock, one I didn't even question for any time.

SQUEE! Now that stuff happening I need to make sure all the rest of my ducks are in their rows and I am watching the situation carefully. I learn by reading then trial and error .. this will be a fun ride, making the next season more serious and me more sure of myself.

HERE WE GO!

Just sharing .. and being excited.
