Does he know when she's bred?

I've heard of some females breeding in their second winter, especially if they were hatched early in the season. Good luck in 2014!

I have one who was born around January 2012. I got her in July 2012. She was malnurished, so she's the same size as my older 2012s. My spider was born in June and she's growing like a weed! She probably won't be ready to go in November, but I bet she'll be ready January or February. Even still, I'll have a 6 yr old 2000g female ready to next fall.

The one born in January will probably be ready. I'll bet she eats like crazy this year to catch up on her weight. That's the way it usually goes. It's like they somehow keep track of what they should have eaten, and make up for it later. Sounds like next year will be a big one for you!

I finally dropped the hot spot heat a couple of degrees, and they started breeding again! I'm going to keep the hot spot a little cooler in the winter from now on.
