Pandinus Imperator breeding report 2

12 October 2009
Today i mated both of my P.Imperator again, being convinced that the mating was unsuccessful previously by a friend

This time the female doesn't show much aggression as last time
The male was pushing for a mating dance while the female just keep moving backward but at last was forced into position by the male

Immediately both exchange sting, i used a tweezer to prevent the female from stinging the male until the male finish stinging her
Both was dancing around and the male drop spermatophore not long after that

This time the female stayed on it longer than last time, aprrox 1minutes but i still didn't see her bending down in curve taking in the spermatophore as told by my friend
At least she stay on it longer this time, i will not proceed to mate them again and see how it goes 1st
The break off was a fierce battle between them both and my tweezer Luckily both separated unharmed (Well maybe my tweezer was hurt lolz)

Pictures
It start with a fight
Then with some kisses
Ejaculate and end with fight again
