Hey everyone, I am new here, figured I would jump right in with a question. Has anyone ever seen a female spur the back of a male? I know that they both have spurs and I know that males will "tickle" the back of a female to get her "in the mood" and make her position her tail. Will a female attempt to spur the back of a male to get him interested? I have a 970 gram spider that is supposed to be a female and a 700 gram male pastel. They were being temporarily housed together until my rack is finished tomorrow (they have spent time together before) and I witnessed the spider moving up and down the pastel so I went over to see what was what and the spider was spurring the pastel. I am taking her in tomorrow to have the spider probed (I dont have a kit), but was just curious if this has happened to anyone before? Thanks in advance...

On another note, if it is a male, will a male spur another male cause it doesnt know any better?

I am not trying to breed the spider if it is a female because I am not comfortable with her weight yet and would like her to be more than 1300 before that happens (next year). I know the pastel is a male because he is producing sperm plugs and is easilly popped.

Thanks
