Curious as to the earliest youve paired a female after a molt. Ive always gone with the conventional method and waited to attempt personally, but ive been told by multiple people there is large success (especially in Europe with Poecilotheria) by introducing a MM right after a molt... with a female still soft. Ive read this is when theyre also most fertile.
Im asking because i recently picked up a diversipes pair and the female molted around 2 months ago.
Theyve been cohabbed since Sunday and im assuming pairing has happened. I was on my way to take him out, only to discover the female is in mid molt while hes in with her still.
She's almost completely free right now and i aim to just leave him in with her to do his thing while she cant try to eat him. This may back fire, but it also may not.
Can anybody more experienced in this give me their insight?
