[QUOTE="argiope, post: 16461, member: 941"] I have adult pair of B. smithi, unrelated and both are freshly molted. I have put the male to her and observed one successfull insert (I hope it was OK), but when I repeated it (already 5x, 3-5 days between individual trials), the male behave strangely. He drummed, she nicely raised her pedipalps and fangs, but he then he refused to approach and escaped. She was even slowly following him few steps, but it was a waste of time.... My question is whether somebody has similar experience. I do not believe much, but do you think he can even recognize that he copulated with her already and now wants to meet another baby? Or any other idea? Do you think that if I put her to his cage the situation can change? I should note that I have some experiences with B. albopilosa and vagans (successfull 3 and 2 eggsacs, respectively), but have not observed such behaviour. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
