When does enough mean enough

[FishermanSteve]

Even though I have been keeping t's for over 10 years, I am relatively new to breeding. With that being said, this week I successfully paired P. irminia and P. Rufiliata. I have heard other breeders talk about pairing over and over again. I have tried pairing both females again but they are completely unresponsive. So here's my question... Do certain genus/species pair repeatedly, or in general, do most females lose interest after a successful pairing?

with pokies you usually leave the Male In the enclosure a few days there quite tolerant of each other

I saw the male make one insertion and she immediately broke loose and ran to her hide. I felt that keeping him in there any longer would just be a death sentence.

just the risk you take, because they are more reclusive there is less chance there going to do it there infront of you thats why you dont see many pokie mating videos

There are some species that only one insertion will be sufficient for pairing (for instance Harpactira dictator). There are some, such as H. chilensis that require multiple pairings. Though for many it require certain conditions. My female H. chilensis wanted nothing to do with the males I attempted pairing her with. She would run from them.
