Well, that was a stark difference from my C. cyaneopubescens mating attempts.
I introduced the male at 7:40PM, and I had a successful insertion by 8:00PM. She couldn't have been more responsive to him - she actively chased him down, wildly drumming the whole time. I'm pretty sure she came out within seconds of him drumming. The female fell during the insertion, but to my untrained eye, it looked like he did the deed. The male promptly stopped tapping and quickly got away, and the female retreated to her hide. Either they were both scared off, or all went as planned.
I'm going to pair them again, as I'd like it to be cleaner than that. Going to try it again this Sunday. I'm going to be shipping him off to @cold blood for his female, so I need to make sure my female has what she needs before that happens.
