Theopropus elegans mating success

[sally]

http://youtu.be/RwYmCmyweWs I mated the T elegans for the first time (ever). I was really nervous about the size difference... My little man did great! I will have to remate them though, they were only connected for about 40 minutes Sorry about the very shaky one handed videoing lol

Yes! I was to nervous to leave them alone lol

Why did they only stay together for 40 minutes?

. I am not sure... He just disconnected and jumped off lol. I will try again tomorrow to see if they will mate longer. She wasn't aggressive or anything...

Could he have completed his mission? There doesn't seem to be any other reason why he would just jump off.

You mated them on your hand!? Haha! Nice video. I've never seen that species, I don't think... Either in pictures or written name.

lol I was afraid she would eat him so I started them on my hand and then moved them into the container after he was connected

I am hoping so. I will mate them again just to be sure.
