Last time I tried breeding was my Harpactira Pulchripes! Put the male in still inside the catch up. Never let him out. He never tapped, she never tapped and just stood over him( in the cup) like she wuz ready to consume him. Even after 45 min she just seemed more likely to eat him than breed. He stayed hunkered down and scared so I took him back out. Of note this little guy is by far my most defensive T to date. Only spood, so far, to throw up a defense posture for any reason at all. Watering, touching enclosure or if he just senses you near. Mr. Automatic is what I believe I will start calling him. Lol. Good luck with your future breeding projects!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
