Not commonly, but it can and does happen.

In actuality, it rarely happens....in captivity the conditions can be controlled through proper supervision....it is also species specific, so it depends on what you are breeding.
Attention to posturing, how the female displays body language, can be a tell-tale sign of her receptiveness.
It's good to keep a piece of cardboard around when breeding, it can be used to block the female and allow the male to escape if she decides that he would make a better meal than suitor.
Also, if she becomes irritated after they have locked up, and looks as though she has changed her mind, a pair of chopsticks can be employed to seperate them.

But, no, it is not the norm for the female to eat the male after breeding.

As was mentioned, it isn't common. I have bred on my own so far, A. aviculaira, G. rosea, andA. seemani, and in the later two, both males were eaten, the rose went after 9 or so successful insertions, and the zebra went after one breed, (and the female is HUGE right now, btw!). The pinktoes sontinuw to co-exsist quite peacefully.
