Put the male in with female tonight, I could not see if there were any insertions as it was done right at the entrance to her burrow, will hopefully try again in a day or two.

Colin this was the female i got from you buddy:D

Just seen the female out and about and her abdomen is getting bigger.
This has confused me as i only mated them last Monday.

She can't be gravid yet........ can she?

Just an update and a picture comparison, I think egg sac may be imminent as she is doing a lot of heavy webbing

3 weeks ago before mating
