How can I get my spider to breed?
So here's the deal, my male spider is 900g+ right now, well past minimum breeding size. His wobble isn't too terrible, and is only really noticeable when he's trying to strike at prey. I've been pairing him on and off with my female since the beginning of June with absolutely no observed locks. In fact, my male was almost always hiding under the substrate, or under my female. It's like he wasn't even trying. She, however, was tail-wagging and zipping around all over her tub, but to obviously no avail.
When I started pairing my male normal to her, they locked up almost immediately, and lasted for a little over 48 hours. Talk about staying power, eh? Anyway, I've witnessed many locks between the normals, but none with the spider, which, to be honest, kind of upsets me! Hahah, I'd like some spiders for my first clutch.
I've read that popping another male and rubbing his sperm/plugs on the female will usually get the desired male to mate, but I'm not the best at popping. Probing I can do, no problem there, but I've never been good at popping, so I just don't do it. Is there anything else I can do to urge my spider to breed? Am I just not playing the right music?? (If that's the case, the male normal likes a very wide range! )
