Some Major Tarantula Lovin'
So yesterday evening (15/7/2016) I put my newly acquired male Theraphosa blondi into the enclosure of my recently molted young adult female and about 15 minutes of this ensued:

Not visible in the video but I have witnessed a few insertions I think. Finally, the female had enough and the male backed into his enclosure without incident.
I will try again after a fresh sperm web and feeding. But fingers crossed!

Thanks mate. Breeding these is easy but getting a good egg sack is very difficult...
Trial number two after a fresh spermweb. I set up the Go-pro and everything but she ended it pretty quickly. I don't think there were any insertions but I don't know. Male is perfectly fine.
