Hi all, This is may first post on this forum. I've been reading and learning here for a month or so. Thanks for all the good info.
I live in Az. and as you know there's alot of Tarantula's here. And many of them are very simular, ie. Aphonopelma chalcodes (Tucson Blonde) and Aphonopelma schmidti (Superstition Blonde). Now I'm reading about a new sp. called Giant stripe knee? Well, I have an adult female chalcodes and schmidti that I want to breed. The other night I found a male walking the road, so I collected him and brought him home and when i got a closer look, this guy has leg striping like I've never seen on a T here in 20 yrs.
Anyway, He made a sperm web and I hooked him up with my schmidti female. It went well. I got a close look, and he got in. My question is: Anybody tryed this before? Do ya think I'll get a eggsack and if so will it be fertile?
Thanks alot, MrT
