Do it! Old world species are cooler anyway, especially Poecilotheria ;)

I really like using this method with Poecilotheria species as well. Sometimes I try to get them to mate right then and there though by getting the male in the mood using the females exuvium. I will then wait for a response from the female. I've been pretty successful using this method and have...

You have a male

It's a female

looks pretty male to me

Yeah I have observed this many times with this species as well along with others in the genus. That's why I like to setup a larger container for breeding than the female would have if she was just in there on her own. The only Poecilotheria species I don't let cohabitate is P. ornata.

You're lucky...every time my females haven't been receptive they were usually trying to eat the males...so be careful!

Yeah that's pretty accurate. The Chilobrachys will web a lot more than the Haplopelma though and it will be thicker (whiter in color). Other than that keep them the same they both like to burrow and require high humidity. Jakob

That's a sweet deal man buy it!

You shouldn't have a problem with a Poecilotheria sp. then :)

Yeah I don't think very many people care for this species. The price on it has dropped dramatically these past few years and you just don't ever hear anybody mention it. My favorites are P. subfusca and P. rufilata...P. ornata in 3rd place. Jakob

I used to live in Tampa so when I come down to visit sometime and a meeting just happens to occur I will be there! Jakob

a very loose female

It is very much in pre-molt. You should expect a molt within 10 days I'd say for sure.

It doesn't seem that you're doing anything wrong...so be patient and keep trying.

Cool we need more P. fasciata in the hobby! They look a lot cooler than regalis IMO with the red underside and are underrated. Jakob

That was intense man...the way she turned around like that!!:eek: Thanks for sharing :)

100% male...

Looks male to me. They're turds...sometimes instead of being all liquid they look like that...like popcorn turds kind of.
