Update since molt:
Female has been power fed (an adult roach or super worm every 4 days since her molt) and is nice and plump and no longer accepted a meal yesterday.
Male also, surpridingly, has had a couple good meals. It's amazing how much a mature male can eat and yet still have a troubling sized abdomen.
Anyway they have been paired for the first time since her molt today and it went as smoothly as the pairing featured in the video. 3 very good insertions and to my surprise the male was incredibly cooperative. When prodded to lead him out, in his usual manner he just climbed up the tongs instead, but this time it was a calm climb, not a bad dash scurry like usual.
Climbed all the way up to my hand and just stayed put there until i moved him over to the females enclosure where he very calmly crawled right in. He's acting like a damn avic now
After the insertion he kept on trying to get back in there for round two but the female wasn't having it so I removed him and same deal, right up the tongs into my hand again.
Here's the kicker, this horny bugger started drumming on my hand!!! Was the most nerve wracking bizarre feeling on the planet. But all said and done, very stressfree pairing. Fingers crossed it's the last!
