First time ?s

Well this is (hopefully) going to be my first season. I have no idea what is normal behavior when introducing males to females but I have had this happen twice so here I am...
I have put my spider in with one female and YB in with another. Both males went a bit crazy, cruising the tubs and acting best I can describe is stressed out. One female hit the side of her tub with a thud with his crazy actions. I pulled the males back out b/c if it is stressing them out...
Oh and one of the males did this today, the other last week. Anyone have insight for me?
Arrg, this whole breeding thing is going to give me an ulcer! I think I am more nervous now than I was when I had my own child :O

So how long were each of them in?

Are you positive she's not a he?

I only had them in for less than an hour. I thought at first they might settle down. And yep, know for sure that each male is a male and female is a female. Had them probed after I bought them as well. This was two different males and two different females.

I would re-sex them

This is part a piece of advice given by Adam last year prior to start a breeding season

And in your case it might be necessary.
