I just dont get it

I dont get it a couple of weeks ago i put my male spider and norm female tograther and they were locked within miniuites. Now i put them in togeather and they will barely look at eachother... And when i put my male pastel in with her, my pastel goes crazy looking for a way out...

If a male plugged your female, she is "done" with breeding for this season and that is a good thing for you and her.

I would pop a sperm plug out of the male that you don't want to breed her to and wipe it on her back. Then introduce your male that you would like to breed her to. Take advantage of the weather also, when a cold front comes through they will usually lock right away.

I think she took and that is why they are done.

How long did you leave them together? You usually need to wait overnight, its rare they will lock immediately, although obviously it does happen. It is also normal for the male to be nervous at first. Thats why its usually reccomended they be left for 2-3 days. Sometimes it takes a while for them to settle in.

That is not true, I have had females lock dozens of times with different males. Now if she has already ovulated or is not cycling or reabsorbed her follicles she will not be interested but this has nothing to do with the amount of locks.

Good tip its worked both times I have tried, wait til she sheds & pop the male into her dirty tub..done it with two different females that showed no intrest after previous locks, both were locked in the morning :)

tried pooping the male i wasnt breeding... didnt work.. and they locked in about 45min to 2hrs ( i thought that was quick) but them being done is a bit confusing :confuzd: they only locked twice in total :confuzd:

so burce she should shed in about a week so pop the male into the tub with the shead after she sheads?
