    question about locks.

    Quick question guys.

    I started pairing last night, my male Lesser started refusing food (he's a major eater, put on 500+ grams over the last 8 months), and my female spider started soaking which she never does, even for sheds. I put them together last night around 3am while I was feeding the rest of the BPs, and I'm pretty sure I witnessed them courting. I went to bed before I saw a definite lock although they seemed to be working towards it.

    I checked on them this morning and he was on top of her in a coil asleep, LOL (he's about 1000 grams smaller than her).

    I'm fairly confident they locked but I didn't witness it.

    If I leave them together for the three days will they lock again (assuming they have already locked)? I really wanted to catch them in the act. Just curious about what to expect. And should I be feeding them regularly while they are pairing. (On their break days) My Spider female is on ASF and she eats regularly every 2 days (although she's refused lately). Will breeding them entice a feeding response?

    Thanks for your help.
