Hi All,
At the end of Nov paired 3 females (sourced spidershop as slings approx year ago) with a MM on loan from John Waite.
All paired by putting female's open container into his larger one and leaving overnight, so minimal disturbance (and i can't be hanging around for the 1 - 2 hours these littluns take to mate) but little chance for photos.
1 moulted - and going back in with him now she's ready again.
1 thinking about it - she's gone to ground so i'm hopeful
and one clutching a sac.
Fingers crossed!
(particularly as just before Christmas had 3 perez-milesi females hold a simultaneous midnight sac feast just a couple of days before the due date - ouch! - so i'm tip-toeing round them as i don't want a repeat of this)
All best,
Chris
