Update on my female B. Auratum.
She molted today!
I found the molt inside her hide and it was still wet.

First of all I did not have to pinch-grab my T; I thought of another way, I persuaded her to get in a plastic cup head first so her butt was facing me. This way, it was less stress on me and her.

To answer your question, no, did not produce any sacs even after I thought it was a successful pairing.
The females molted on both occasions (arrhh!)
Just recently paired my T.albo and looks to be a success; the male is still alive. (still viable if...
Hi all,
I have a mature male Tliltocatl albopilosus (Nic) that I have successfully paired with my female and now I want this male to spread his deeds elsewhere if possible.
