Newsflash.....
Today there is the start of what will hopefully be a viable eggsac (video and photo in the gallery)

She has really confused me.
1st...she gets paired about a 6 weeks ago.
Followed by aggression to Male when I repeatedly offered him (not so weird if already pregnant) but 2 weeks ago, she was on her back holding her water dish tightly (see below) so was thinking she was going in to moult and therefore any pairing would be a failure.

Maybe it was just contractions and she felt comfortable with the water dish on her belly.....PMSL

Well done @Phil this is going to be very exciting:D keep us well informed and fingers crossed for eggs with legs in the future-she really was trying to tell you something with that water dish! :p:T:

UPDATE

sadly the female destroyed the sac last week. :(
She and the Male were at it again today though. The female was a lot more in control this time and the Male was less aggressive. Will introduce the Male again in 3 or 4 days time.
B hamorri attempt again today. the Male just turned on his heels (repeatedly) when the female showed attention with drumming etc. He lifted her at one stage but no insertion. Will keep trying on these two even though I now suspect he is gay!:eek:
