I paired my female with ChrisNCT's male this afternoon and I definitely saw good insertions with both palps.
Typically when I open up the container to feed/water, the male tries to get out, but he took some serious prodding today to get him to venture over to the female's container.
The female lunged at immediately and I thought at first that he was going to wind up as dinner. Just when I thought she had him pinned down and she had her legs wrapped around him he managed to start lifting her up and she began cooperating.
Containers. Male on left, female on right.
Male heading over.
Mating.
Insertion.
She chased after him when he released so I seperated just in case.
She held her position for a few minutes.
I just hope she doesn't molt out of this one! She molted about a month or so ago and lost the sperm from the first time I mated her.
