I introduced Dionysus and Ebony(008) today. The pairing went very well, and Ebony made no attempt to chase Dionysus when he disengaged.
Dionysus was placed in the far corner of the enclosure away from Ebony; she was down in her dugout. After a few minutes he got his bearing and slowly made his way around the enclosure to the opposite end of her dugout. He entered the dugout, she approached him, and he ran out as fast as he could. Dionysus stopped at the top of the dugout. Ebony, after a couple minutes, followed him. When she reached him he spun around and it was a flurry of legs until he was able to hook her fangs. He spent five minutes depositing his sperm, then cautiously began to move back. When he felt it was safe to move he ran to the other end of the enclosure and proceeded to try and climb out. Ebony did not chase after him, and just stood motionless for about five minutes. I gathered him up and put him back into his enclosure, where he spent a few minutes at his water dish drinking.Next week Dionysus will pair with Sable(010).
