Any New Breeding Projects Recently?

[Liquifin]

Surely there are some tarantula breeders on this forums. So any new, recent, or future tarantula breeding projects recently?

I just bred my first female P. murinus today (forgot to get pictures) and my second female will be ready soon, but I would love to see or hear some of your current or future breeding projects of T.'s and feel free to provide pictures if you can.

Im starting to look at breeding myself now that I have a few with some size. (And of course I'm jumping straight into the deep end). I have a P met that just sexed out as female and a suspect male I'm waiting on a molt to verify (along with an unknown third that is a molt shredder, all in the 4.5" range). If I get a pair, I'll start modifying the husbandry parameters so that they'll both be ready to go late in the year. I also have a 0.0.3 group of P. rufilata in the 6" range I'm hoping to sex a pair out of soon. I have a pair of Ornithoctinae sp Ho Chi Ming DCF that will be here as soon as the borders open back up as well. Hopefully I can start all these around October or so and I'll be buying 5.5oz deli cups in bulk early next year. I have small groups of Phormingochilus sp Sabah Blue and Phormingochilus sp Akcaya, and a small group of B. simoroxigorum on the way for future projects.

I have P. regalis 1i and N. chromatus EWLs in incubators, C. darlingi on a sac and I just had a great pairing with N. incei....I also have a B. hamorii I am pretty sure is gravid, fingers crossed there.

I have been trying to pair N. tripepii, but I just cant seem to get them interested for some reason....usually Nhandu are very straight forward, I am beginning to wonder if there's something about their courtship that I am missing.

Gonna be able to pair A. avic MT 1 soon with any luck...and after my mt 6 female's next molt, I will be pairing her again.

No luck finding P. nigricolor or T. puriens/ockeri MMs.

Paired the second OBT female today and it was quite a smooth pairing and a good save on the male.

1.1 P. murinus (OBT) pairing

 

[CommanderBacon]

I'm breeding for the first time with Avicularia avicularia. I'm going to pull the sac June 10.

I'm excited and kind of nervous

 

[PanzoN88]

I'm trying to find males for some breeding projects I'd like to start, but no luck finding them. So my breeding projects are all on hold as of right now.

 

[Liquifin]

OBT seems to be getting bigger, but hopefully it is gravid and not just fat.

I have 2 female N. Incei waiting on my male to mature, hopefully next molt or 2. Then I can pair them.

Not really new, but ongoing this year.

Aphonopelma hentzi breeding!

Hey everyone my name is matt and I am new to the forum I don’t tend to use many resources like this as there is a lot of google experts and keyboard warriors. So hopefully I will find this site more pleasant and friendly. so I paired my A. Hentzi back in early February and the female is...

When I read the beginning of the first sentence I thought you were joking that you were the one breeding! Lol good stuff

 

[RezonantVoid]

Will be pairing my Selenotholus Stirlingi pair when my male matures.


Gotta find a Phlogius Goliath male for my girl, shes not max size but should be good for breeding


Gotta auction off my male Strennus and PQ113's for breeding loans too when i get a chance

 

[ignithium]

Balfouris and T. blondi this year, got a pair from poland last year now ready to go

 

[spideyspinneret78]

I'm planning on breeding my P. cambridgei once she's mature (not quite there yet). It'll be my first tarantula breeding, and I'm already starting to do research on the details of it.

 

[arachnidgill]

Just had a great pairing with my P. irminia, very receptive female.


I received a Harpactirella overdijki MM a couple days ago, will be pairing them soon.

I paired my P. cambridgei and two P. pulcher females earlier this year.

When I pulled the sac from my P. cambridgei half the eggs were infertile, got 76 good eggs and ewls. Some of the remaining eggs still didn't develop and I think I ended up with about 60 healthy slings by the end of April.

P. pulcher female #1 molted out after molting only five months before. Female #2 laid a sac of 70 eggs. I pulled the sac at 25 days and only 20 slings developed in my incubator. Going to wait a little longer before pulling the sac next time.

I am going to be breeding my Bonnetina sp. Chamela (cyaneifemur) in the next couple of months. Still waiting for my Grammostola pulchripes female to moult (she has not moulted since fall 2017) to pair to a mature male I have. I might be getting a mature male Aphonopelma chalcodes for my freshly moulted female.

 

[Nongkym]

I bred my female G. pulchra 2 months ago and she has become more aggressively defensive and putting on weight. Fortunately, she had already molted prior to breeding so fingers crossed for an egg sac soon.

 

[Olan]

Attempted G. iheringi last night. Female is freshly molted and ready. Male is quite old, wasn’t able to get her into position. He is still making sperm webs though, I hope he can get the job done. Will try again in a day or two.

 

[arachnidgill]

H. overdijki pairing went very well! Took about 40 minutes for the MM to locate the burrow entrance and then lure the female out. Once the female came out they mated in the burrow entrance, the male is now back in his enclosure safe and sound!

Harpactirella overdijki mature male searching for female.

Got to breed my Orphnaecus sp. "Blue Quezon" today at last and I think he did the job for my largest girl, but only time will tell for sure. This was a very nervous breeding as I had to make sure this male didn't get eaten because he's the only male I could spare since males are so hard to find. Special thanks to @Pbj invertebrates for the male I got from this member. I still have a few more females, but only some are mature based on the size of this male in comparison. Still, fingers cross.



The second picture I could get was a blur, but you get the picture.

Trying to breed my gorgeous B klassi female (the one on my profile). She's actually gone to my friend on a loan. He has the MM and a lot of breeding experience so she couldn't be in better hands. Fingers crossed that she'll return with babies in tow lol
