Breeding of Chilobrachys andersoni

[menavodi]

8/17/19 I introduced a male to her terrarium at about 1:00 pm.

He ran off under the A/C unit and then jumped down on a watering can. At 1:43 pm he went back up and down in her container and started drumming. She responded and pretty soon he started pushing her up. He inserted several times.

13:53 caught him and put him back in his terrarium. Unharmed.

1/12/20 She built a cocoon overnight! I caught her when she just folded it up...

Congratulations! Great start to the new year.
Loved the way he legged it and had to be ushered back to perform his duties haha
