Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hagraven" data-source="post: 218883" data-attributes="member: 39019">Hi!I set my mature chilobrachys huahini male up in his new enclosure yesterday, and when I had come back from work today I noticed plenty of webbing around the little guy. My initial thought is that this is NOT a sperm web, that a single day after being hurled through the mail would not be enough time for him to get comfortable in his new home enough to lay out a sperm web, right? [ATTACH=full]68613[/ATTACH]Also, the previous owner had offered that he had matured a "few" months ago but that he was still regularly webbing and eating (he ate a cricket today). I'd hate to see him pass without getting a chance to meet my mature female, and I wanted to ask- If I don't see him making a sperm web, what are the chances that his pedipalps are still "charged" from earlier sperm webs?  I tried finding an answer on this and other forums, but no luck.And another thing (thank you for reading, I know its alot lol) I have his enclosure beside my female's, and I introduced some of her webbing into his enclosure today.Any tips on getting these two to better catch wind of one another before a pairing?[ATTACH=full]68618[/ATTACH](Pill bottle now removed)Thanks for your help!</blockquote>
