Ball breeding questions

Hi guys..

Today i just put my male spider to my female pastel, in its locking up for about 10 hours now, should i take the male out after he finished his job and then put him back 3 days again ? (3 days on and off) , also in their off day, can i offer them food ?

Thanks.. Sorry for the bad english.. :)

you really only need to put them together once a month, the 3 day rule is for a male who's being paired to multiple females. Ideally though, you wanna give them plenty of time to rest. She might take the first go, she might not, so try again in a month. also, totally cool to offer food during off-time.

Take him out when they are done. No need to put him back in 3 days. You can breed them once or twice a month and that will be enough.

noted guys,

so the thing is, i just need to put the male once or twice a month, and offering food like their usual schedule are perfectly normal right ?
its been 2 days, they keep locked up to each other..

what are the significant sign if the female are gravid ?

once again thank you guys for you replies.. :D

I find this to be a GREAT website for visualizing the signs of a developing female.

It's not 100% perfect, because each snake is an individual and some of them do weird things, but it covers what you should generally expect to see.
