My first attempt at breeding this species. The male was a bit of a bummer. He only did the deed when he was literally pushed to the female. She was down....he was a dud. The end result: 8 post embryos and an eggsac full of numerous unfertilized eggs. Still, for a difficult to breed species and a first attempt. I'm quite pleased. I have another large girl I picked up from a local collector so hopefully she molts soon. The male is still making sperm webs so I'd love another shot before he's gone.

The eggs with legs are darkening now so a 1st instar molt should come soon.

Wow! That's a lot of spiders! How long does it take for them to grow up?

Wow, that's wicked awesome! I'm hoping to someday take a shot at breeding T's. Congrats!

Wow! Spooky haha

I am shaking in fear, and they are only pic's. LOL They look awesome.

It depends on the species and sex. Some mature in as little as 1 year while others can take over 5. Males don't live as long as females either so there is a bit of variation based on that as well.

holy cow that is a lot of scary images. I give props to anyone that can handle a spider. seems like a really cool hobby.... but i will watch from here

My wife is all about our snake. If I were to bring home one of those, I can guarentee the stock in Raid would jump up high due to her buying tons of it to get rid of the spiders!

Looks like you have a good hobby and you enjoy doing it. Gladly though I will stick to my sports memorbillia to fund my snakes!

That is just amazing! When they are little do they need to be separated how does this work?

They go through a couple molts and then they start eating and need to be separated. Failure to do so will result in a few slings being lost to cannibalism.
