A P.langenbucheri ?

[BrettG]

Anyone with any REAL experience know AROUND what size the females are sexually mature?I just had a male mature,and am really hoping that out 3.75-4 inch girl might be ready.I mean REALLY REALLY hoping...He is a LITTLE guy,MAYBE 3.5 inches. Smallest Psalmo MM I have ever seen....Normally I would check her molt to see if her lady parts were developed,but she shredded this last one.

Well, you can always try pairing them and hope for the best... Not sure if you have really small MM, or this is normal size for them to mature

Maybe you should contact M. Scheller, he has experience with P. langenbucheri.

Maybe try with shark tank and see if you get any response?

As far as I know from people over here they max out around 4.5"-5.5" - but that's only hearsay and reading, Brett. Sorry.

 

[BrettG]

Well,they paired,and are pairing as I type.Turns out our 3.5 inch female is sexually mature....Now to cross our fingers,and get our other girls up to size.....First US pairing???

That's great! I hope she lays a healthy sac for you!

How did you proceed mating?

Just introduced the male to her enclosure,and after a minute she charged him,and they danced around for maybe 20 minutes.Then 2 fast insertions,and he ran like heck. Reminds me a lot of Tap pairings.Now the wait begins.....

Good luck with them.

Congrats on the pairing! Wish you much luck with the future sac and babies

These are a smaller species of Psalmopoeus. Adult female's body lengths are 4-5cm(1.5"-2")

Good luck with them!

 

[BrettG]

Thanks Chad!!Pretty excited about this one,as no one stateside has really worked with them.

UPDATE.....Eggsack produced 7-2-13.Very small,I would be shocked if it held more that 35 eggs.
Female #2 has also been paired,and consumed a male this past week.

Glad to hear - please keep us posted on the progress. Curious about these!

 

[Eldric]

Congrats and good luck! These are really neat Psalmos imho.

 

[BrettG]

Well,even though there is not much interest in these guys for some reason,here is another update...Female 1 with the sack consumed it after 10 days.Female 2 is now holding a sack the size of a quarter,and female 1 has molted to 4ich inches,and is currently gravid again.Pairings are very straight forward,and gestation times have been right around 50 days till sack production.

 

[advan]

Sorry about the first sac. Hopefully you'll get a good one soon!

 

[Storm76]

Aww, sry about that sac. Hope the next one will be good! They usually have 50-60 eggs btw.

Good luck on this one bro. Hopefully there is alot of slings in there to go around. And you sure know im interested.

I also wish you luck and have interest in acquiring some of the offspring since I posses all the other psalmopoeus's species.
