Re: How I help fund my reptile hobby:
Wow! That's a lot of spiders! How long does it take for them to grow up?
Re: How I help fund my reptile hobby:
Wow, that's wicked awesome! I'm hoping to someday take a shot at breeding T's. Congrats!

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.

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.

Nice. I love the nhandu chromatus. The last Ts I bred were obts. I'm getting ready to start breeding them again.

Who do you usually sell to, a distributor or do you have an online web site?
Just curious, I'm always on the look out for an adult female G. Pulchra. Just don't always want to pay the high prices I've seen in the past.

I typically sell most of them to dealers. I'm keeping a few back to sell at some of the upcoming reptile shows this year, but most are sold in bulk lots.
