From your experience, how many time your pair(s) lock up before female(s) normally gravid and stop feeding? Mine have locked up for 3-4 times now in 2-3 months, and the female still eat and I bet they'll lock up again if I throw them together. My male have been off feed for almost a month so I don't want him to get too tired lol

However, my female Mojave's weight have been way up from the first time I start putting her with the male pastel. She was around 1,300-1,400 before and now she's 1,800(maybe 1,700 empty) is that a good sign?

btw- good luck to you, hope you hatch out all spider
