No, she molted 7 months later if you were going to ask!
Did the male live long enough to mate again after she molted?

Male

He got with 3 females over a 4 month plus marathon with over 30 interactions between them in all. Yes he is still alive but burned out and has made no webs despite being in with 2 females many times since the molts. Any tricks(drop in temps ect....) to stimulate him to start up again besides putting him in with them? He just puts them in a trance and then gets outta there! Hoping for a fresh male because they are big mamas and are only a few months past molt. dave

I remember Martin Huber saying that he keeps males enclosures dry for a couple of days and then makes it moist again. This triggered the males to make sperm webs. I remember reading this in a thread where he was talking about taking pics of males making sperm webs and loading palpal bulbs.

Thanks Mike, I have tried that but will try more now that you mentioned it. He is slowing down physically. Does not tap or vibrate for the girls even when in with them. He shrivles up in the corner. dave
