    Question Can I pair them now??

    OK I have a 2700g female normal that has been cooled and is ready to breed. I also have a male spider that is about 700g. My question is can i start pairing them now or should i wait until the male is a little bigger? The female is going back and forth in her cage and seems to want to breed. Should i put them together and see what happens?

    I've heard of males as small as 600g breed. It is possable, but he might not know what to do being so young. As I see it, it can't hurt to try Just keep a close eye on em

    I have heard males breeding successfully at 350 grams but that is rare! My spider started breeding at 550 grams! I would pair them a few times! If they are ready then they will breed if not then you got next season! Good luck!

    It doesn't hurt to try. I've tried 4 or 5 boys in the 300 to 500 range with no takers.
