I see no need to heat treat. I have never had an issue from not doing it. Just saying.

9 and a half minutes of pure glory! Be sure to watch in 720p on full screen! http://youtu.be/PCGMJGZnfiw

I taught my MM well. You only learn those skills from a true ladies man. :razz: {D Hope it all comes to fruition. Good job Jason.

Oh okay. Thank you very much for your input, Rob. That's comforting. I'm going on a 4 day vacation, and I'm afraid they will molt while I'm gone. How long until they start cannibalizing? I've never raised this species at such a young age.

I have over 100 1st instar GBB's right now. And they are taking a long time to molt. They were getting a little dry so I shut the ventilation because several of them had shrively abdomens. I put a square of moist paper towel on their hammock temporarily for them to drink from, and several...

Usually I pull them at 30-35 days already at egg with legs stage, but I think it was only two weeks. I wasn't sure when she closed her den off though, it may have been longer or shorter than I thought. The mother was distressed from dehydration, and her abdomen looked shriveled (more than a...

Thanks to everyone! Musicwolf, our A. metallica girl is starting to look and act gravid. She's laying down a ton of web. Hope it works out the same way as it did for my GBB. It took her more than 6 months to lay the sack. I thought it was a failed breeding attempt, because she mauled the...

UPDATE: Well, either nobody knows the answer to the question, or nobody cares to answer it. I found it out myself. For anybody who cares to search this thread, when you notice the eggs starting to look oval, and they otherwise look healthy, they are about to emerge. My eggs emerged into the...

I started incubating a GBB egg sac a little earlier than normal, because the mother look really dehydrated and wouldn't drink. I pulled the sac, and she started drinking immediately. Then, I've had the eggs incubating for a week on robc's style hammock incubator out of the sac. Humidity...

Some of them have black spots on them from a dead egg being stuck to them.

I will post some this evening.

I would like to know this too, I have GBB eggs that have several with black residue on them from a few bad eggs that were stuck to them. Should I clean them off somehow, or will they be fine as they are??

The last group for sure.

That spider is almost as old as me. Dang.

THAT is awesome haha.

Jason I can always count on you. I know that. You are by far the most giving person on the boards. I'm breeding them for the achievement of it, not for the slings. It's a learning experience for me, and I'm fulfilling that male's purpose in life. If I fail miserably, I'll know who to call...

Dang dude. Do you suggest I do that? I did that with H. lividum. One of my males lived with her for a month without getting eaten, and then I sent him to do some 50/50's. My female has been underground ever since. I haven't caught a single glimpse of her. I could do that cohabitation...

I'm in the process of pairing up some LP's, but my female is not wanting to take the male. She thwacks the ground by him, when he starts doing his jig to her and scares him off. She's been living at room temperature prior to pairing, and I raised her to about 85F now. Her substrate is...

I don't think that's real. That guy would have urticating hairs lining his GI. It looks like a molt crushed up in there not the actual spider. I do know they eat Haplopelma sp. in Southeast Asia as a delicacy. It's sad, but it's life. People do things all the time that we can't control, but...

I kept slings of this, and raised them to mature males. Mine did this same thing making tube webs in the corner. It appears they think the ground is deeper than it is. I bought an adult female several months back, and it's housed in a nice planted enclosure. I haven't seen it since it...
