A new P.murinus female I got a few weeks ago. She needs a molt and I hope to breed her after she does.

The only picture I can ever get of my C.fimbriatus.

Yea I thought the size difference would be an issue, but the female has been very receptive so far. No insertions yet, but its getting there.

Thanks. One of the OBT girls has shut herself in her hide, so heres hoping. The fasciatum pair are being tricky. They tap back and forth, get leg to leg, and then the male just walks away.

I still have some time though, both are reasonably freshly molted.

Sorry to hear that your breeding didnt go well so far this year.
