Hi,
I´m trying to mate Phoneutria boliviensis, but without success. The female is drumming every night. After the male made a spermweb, I put him to the female at night, but he didn't react. After the male discovered the female's web, he started to clean himself. After the cleaning he started wandering around her enclosure until he bumped into her and she caught him. This happened two times and now i only have one male left. In the first case the female drummed like crazy. I had no problem mating Heteropoda venatoria and Cupiennius coccineus in the past.
What am I doing wrong?
