theyre only really used to cure dehydration,what else are they good for? and all I ever do is just stick the spider over a waterbowl which has the same effect but less stressful than sticking in a wet tub.I think "ICU"s are used far too much and a positive outcome can be achieved in a more...

ive often had better luck with larger males,they tend to not be nervous so much and get in there and do the business sooner.I had a P.chordatus walk straight upto the female not tapping atall,just started to hook up and threw her on her back.He then got ontop of her and mated with her on her...
ive done it on and off for about 15yrs on various spiders including T.blondi (about 3 times a yr) and never had a problem with it.it smells but its not hard to clean it up afterwards.Until I see some evidence that its bad for them then my Ts will get leftover mice/chicks that the snakes don't...

she will be fine,my porteri has been mated and is now cooling off in my unheated shed and temps have been down to -2 outside here.theyre amazing with regards to the temperature range they can survive with no ill effects:biggrin:
