Hello
- First feed the female well,to up the chances of her not eating him.
- ensure the enclosure is large enough for the breeding to happen within the set area.
- make sure the male has made a sperm web(if possible)
- have a paint brush and or blocking item,so if the female decides otherwise you could save the male from being eaten.
- introduce the male to her enclosure,he will either tap or do a similar gesture she will respond by shaking(if I'm allowed to describe it that way) in response to show she accepts him etc.
- A catch cup,or container after separating the male from female to reintroduce the male back to its enclosure.
- if it was a possible successful mating, make sure you try and feed her until she doesn't eat anymore.
- if the female does drop an egg sack,know that the less the disturbance is more the chance of a successful sack. Also,do not feed her after the egg sack has been made. You could leave the sack with the female,or take it away from 30-40 days(some do it earlier) after the sack was made.
These are suggestions,not rules just my opinion.
