    Wow! That's a lot of work on the keeper's part--incredible!
    :O
    I can see why they'd think they were different species. ;) That dimorphism is insane.
    Thanks so much for the info! :D

    P metallicas have to be the best out there! good luck getting a sac!

    Did you say you have never lost an animal during breeding? If so, you are lucky my friend! once had a female Cyclosternum fasciatum eat 2 males for me! Poor guys just wanted to get them some!

    Nope. I mentioned I rarely loose males. Certain species are more prone to grabbing the males. C. fasciatum is one. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens is another that is notorious for eating the males. Many of the other species in the hobby are able to pair without the male being sacrificed.
