Easiest Pokie to Breed

[MrCrackerpants]

In your experience, what is the easiest pokie to breed? Thanks.

Poecilotheria regalis and Poecilotheria ornata have both seen a good amount of positive and successful breeding reports, especially as far as pairing goes. Check the breeding reports section for more information.

Thanks for the clarification.

I would say regalis in my experience.

Why is it then that ornatas are generally a little pricier than say regalis, striata, etc.

Size be my guess

Ornata is newer to the hobby than regalis, and basically everyone has regalis. This isn't necessarily the case with ornatas. They're less commonly bred successfully.

 

[Merfolk]

And ornata slings are the champions cannibals within the eggsac.

But just above people were saying that ornatas are bred successfully often

 

[Ceratogyrus]

fasciata have been the easiest for me in the past. ornata not far behind that.

Glad I read this. I'm in the process of breeding ornatas right now and the females eating the sac has always been something I've been afraid of. I typically leave the sac with the female. Would it still be a good idea to leave it with her or self incubate them? (I'm not that great at self incubating)

I think he meant the slings cannibalise each other.
My female just hatched out her sac, and had no problems.
You can see the slings around the female (who is snacking on some roaches)

I will rehouse these at 2nd instar, when they could start eating each other.

Thank you for the clarification. Its a sigh or relief for me.

Anyone else with experience breeding pokies want to reply? It would appear regalis and ornata would be the easiest to breed based on the breeding reports but many people do not post a successful breeding report when they get slings.

P. regalis and P. pederseni for me.

The easiest to breed are the ones you see for sale most often: regalis, fasciata, pederseni, striata, & ornata.

I've heard of people having problems getting good sacs from subfusca, formosa, & smithi. The first two have been in the country since the late 1990's, but there haven't been many successful sacs.

The others are still fairly scare yet (miranda, tigrina, metallica, hanuma, and rufilata) and the first four of those are fairly recent introduction and may or may not be tricky.

ThankS! This info really helps.
