well thats impossible to know, so far this season I have had some males lock up with one female 30-40 times already, and with other females 5-6times. It realy depends, but keep them paired for tonite, its a full moon and triggers breeding.

Nice snakes, that spider is really sharp...

Congrats.

hopefully they lock several more times and give me some nice little spiders. so what are the next steps i take.

Big congrats!!!!!!!!! :gj:

Nice looking snakes. Congratulations on the lock.

Congrats, and good luck!

i checked on them this morning and they were still locked and around noon they were just curled up and i noticed that she is very much in shed. should i keep pairing them while she is shedding. is it possible that this is her pov shed?

I could be wrong~ it's been known to happen~ but it would be awfully early for this to be her POV shed. She's probably just going into a shed that made her smell.........yuuummmmy ......to your male. If they've finished breeding~ take him out for a few days~ offer them both something to eat. Don't be suprised if they refuse but go ahead and offer~ then put them back together (NOT on feeding day~ the next day) and see if they are still feeling frisky. Good luck! Have fun!

its prob just a normal shed and she has been refusing food for a while now, he has`been eating but she wont eat. now should i wait till she sheds before i put him back in with her?

Congrats!

Great looking spider bro! Congrats!

Since this is your first year breeding, my best advice to you is to keep the cycle of pairing and resting going until you get eggs! Just keep pluggin him in there and you won't miss. :sweeet:

I agree with what this guy said!

hey I have a question kind of off topic, but how much does your spider weigh? and how old is he?

he is some where around 1400 grams and i think he was born in 05 he is a proveen breeder i purchased from adam over at 8 ball.

he is a very good looking stud!:D

congrats...I'm sure you'll have some nice spiders in the new year

well they took a break last pairing and when i paired them yesterday i woke up to a nice lock up again. looking good here.

well i put them together tonight and he went nuts he was rushing around the cage going in and out of the water and he left i guess urine and a sperm plug in there and she started like wagging her tail. i think they like each other.
