Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, mating

I attempted to breed this species yesterday and found it very difficult. The male walked over to the females entrance and drummed up a storm, stopping every couple of mintues, and then continuing to drum again. After about 5 minutes she came out. They stood like that for about 10 min, then the male drummed again, the female bolted out towards him and then ran away. They stayed away from each other for a couple mintues then the female turned around and began walking towards him, he turned and once that happened she wanted to go back into her tunnel. I left them to cohabit for a couple of hours, so I am not sure whether there was any actual mating. Both were interested in each other, but too nervous to actually do anything. I'm going for mating attempt number 2 right now, the male is in front of her tunnel again and pics will follow later. Here are some pics from yesterdays event..

I think you meant Aphonopelma schmidti or Haplopelma schmidti, either way congrats! Do you know where you read that because that is incorrect, G.rosea has been bread many many times.

I tried to bribe the little turd with a freshly moulted Phoenix Worm, but s/he bolted on me... Ka is about 3+ inches right now. I've had Ka since last August ('06) and s/he was barely 1/4 inch.... was my very FIRST!
