Hadrurus arizonensis breeding plan

As i could not find a spermatophore the pair have been together all this time with no sign of aggression from either specimen

This morning i found them at it again

Excuse the bad quality but my phone sucks!!

Still no spermataphore? Sheesh. No one said they could just do it for fun!  

Update to this thread:

My pair have been in the same enclosure since the first mating attempt. Last night and the night before I have found them dancing together so either there has been no spermatophore yet or they just like dancing hahaha

Will keep you posted on any further developments

Ok so the pair have been dancing about for the last 3 nights. The male is dragging the female about for periods of over 12 hours

Should I assume the mate has been unsuccesful so far and leave the male in, or should I remove the male before one of the 2 gets eaten?

Thoughts please as I have not seen any aggression from either of the 2 but dont want any of them to get hurt

The male has another female to attend to soon

Personally I'd leave him in there for a little bit until you either see a spermatophore or she starts to show signs of aggression.

Of course there's nothing wrong with you taking him out and trying with a different female.

It's up to you.

Ok thanks

Will leave him in there as my other female is subadult still and in premoult

I just dont want the male to get killed as if I manage to get the subadult female to moult succesfully, i would be able to double my chances of getting a brood of "Hadrurings" LOL

any news?

i planing to mate my pair within a couple of days?

would be good with a beds up on yours

Well after about 5 mating dances which i observed, and a few i surely missed, i found my male gored to death in a corner of the terrarium. So now its a waiting game i guess. I am planning on allowing a natural hibernation so if she is gravid I probably wont have a brood until next spring. She is very fat though and quite feisty in the last few weeks

Awesome display of that these guys do! Hope she is prego!

Not sure if the female is gravid but she is definitely fat

Try shining a flashlight under her to see if there are any visible embryos. Sometimes you can see them.

Keep us updated!   

I would say she is gravid!
