Hey guys. Its my first season breeding. I have my female and male in a 41qt tub. Hot spot 87. Cold 78. Humidity at 48%.

this is the first season for my desert pinstripe male aswell. And my female spider is a proven 10egg breeder.

Theyve been together for 3 days already and I havnt seen any signs of locking. Is that normal? I took them apart today and tried feeding them. The Female ate right away. And the male still refuses to eat. Is this normal?
Is there something I can do to make him want to mate?

thank you.
And sorry for the newb question!
