Last night I attempted to pair my Poecilotheria subfusca lowland/bara female with my newly acquired male. After a couple minutes he began to drum with the female responding a bit but didn't seem that all interested because she began to walk away from him several seconds after. I decided to just let them cohabit together for a bit, and hopefully catch them in courtship later in the night. Around 20 minutes after, I checked on the pair. They were resting in classic poeci position side by side, not really paying each other any mind and the male has halted his loud incessant drumming. From what I've seen in pairing videos, and I only found out about it within those 20 minutes I was away from the pair, is this sp. has a very... VERY brief courtship and split second insertion.
Now I'm wondering what are the chances that this pair has done the deed. Should I just leave the male there for a while or take him out to try and pair them again later? currently hes in the enclosure with her.
