Parasphendale mating

I put them together tonite and they "hooked-up" in less than 5 minutes.

Wow. That's pretty exciting. How far away did you put the male from the female? Did she ever try to attack him?

Thanks for putting the photos up.

I found him at the top of the cage this morning. They stayed hooked up for about 7 hours. He will now live out the end of his days well-fed, living on a plant in my kitchen window.

The female was never aggressive towards him at all. I put him on the end of my finger and held him behind her. He jumped right on. She had a mealworm at the time, but even after she was finished, she acted like he was not even there.

7 hours? my mates only for about 10 to 30 minutes and male geting of her is that enough?
