If you catch them, you catch them. Their gestation period is 1 1/2 - 3 months, sometimes longer. You can offer food but if they show no interest then immediately remove the prey. I have had some C. sculps that looked like they were ready to pop but take another 2 months. You don't want to wait...
You are never going to be fully ready. You have to have the experience to understand what you are dealing with. When I got my first hot (A. australis) I was a little scared. But I knew the behavior characteristic, husbandry and possible threat. I repected it and was extemely cautious. Now I have...
I don't think humidity is as big of an issue as people make it out to be. I have been keeping one of my little H. arizonensis at about 50-60%Rh to get him to molt. He has not developed mycosis and still is a great eater. I've seen several burrows that have water drops on the roots. Then again...
Definately poor circulation. If you keep fairly open circulations for a few weeks then minimize the ventilation you will not see this very often. Make sure you the substrate isn't damp just moist.
I don't think there is really an answer. I kept 30 in a ten gallon with a ton of hiding space and they all just huddled on top of each other. It also depends on how much vertical climbing space you give them.
I'm guessing you are talking about a H. arizonensis and a H. spadix. I believe people have cross bred some similar species but most people steer away from cross breeding. I'm not sure why though.
