Aha, these photos tooks some nerves! :) But I handle all my Ts therefore this wasn't much difficult. The difficulty is to hold them on one place during photo-shooting! :)

Pandora,

Your spiderpictures would look much better with a natural background/substrate. Your hands, arms and that plastic carpet doesnt do it for me.

Crotalus,
Sorry, but the suitable background was not found. Additionally, there are much photos with spiders on natural substrate, I wanted non-standard way.

how big is the female and male you mated? and is this species hard to breed because im planning on breeding them once my males mature and my female matures(around what size do they mature, or are they breedable?), I have a female around 5" and another one around 4"

It's a new night he made another sperm web last night so in with my smaller female just a few minutes ago, she was no where near as compliant as my larger female, but being a good size male he was able to over power her and get the job done...





@demonhunter, first female is good 7" as is the male second female is right around 6"...

Breeding this species seems pretty easy to me, she did eat the male last year but was much nicer to this male and did not even try and thump him and her being a big stocky girl I think she could have pretty easily, She dug around like mad for a couple months (and she never digs) last year while gravid just searching for the right spot and finally a night or two after I flooded her enclosure she made a hugh sac, we will have to see where this years mating takes us...

duente,
She is not very aggressive, but very bitey :). I handle her regularly, she is enough tamed already and she doesn't afraid of me.
