    Spider males Breeding problems

    Check on him early in the morning.Around 4:oo or so .some of ours breed really late or very early of a morning.He may be locking up and you just not catching him.also check to make sure he is deffinately a male.someone may have sold you a female thinking it was a male.

One thing you can do is check for evidence the next day, breeding couples will often leave what look like little blood trails and musk smears on the paper (another reason I like using newspaper as a substrate)
    - i'll try to check this.. do you have any pics of what looks like "blood trails and musk smears"? i also use newspapers - but don't see any markings.

    - as far as gender is concern, i'm sure he's a male.. we probed him and i popped him i think twice this month just to make sure, i both hemipenes are there. there's one thing i notice when i pop him after removing him from the females tub. one of his hemipenes seem to pop first than the other but the sperm plugs are still there.. does that mean anything?

    - i hope this does not happen.. he does have a very nice pattern.. Noooooo.. please no.....

    The male that sired my clutches this year was a Nuclear Spider, so had the spider gene at play. He had plugs at 400g, but I didn't actually breed from him until 800g.

    The only Lazy breeders I have came across were pieds. But I may have just been unlucky.
