I have a nice lividum mature female (DCF) and acquired a mature male yesterday. He has been mature for about 8 weeks according to his previous owner. He mated with their female about a week ago. I have placed him in a shallow container near the female and it seems she is already aware of his presence. I have used the search engine on this and countless arachind forums but seem to find conflicting info.
I read that some people get a male in the post and pop him into the female's lair the same day. Others wait a while, for sperm webs and such.
As this will be my first such experience and I intend to do it as well as possible I would like to hear from those of you have tried with Hapopelma's and would be interested in your valued opinions of when I should let him at her ?
Cheers
Phil
