well, you could always try! personally, i might wait another molt to breed, but i just like to breed em big! the danger in that though, is that the males might die before the female molts again. you might have some luck, i have bred them pretty small before, i just prefer not to.I have some black widows I have had since they were born. Two males look mature. Not to big but both have their boxing gloves now. I have two females, black with the red hour glass....they are not to big either...maybe 3/4 inch leg span. I was wondering if I should wait to see if the females molt once more be fore I thy and mate them.

Clear pic underside of female might prove very helpful also. If she retaining markings on her abdomen, pic showing those markings could also be a good clue. He will react (stereotypically) in either of 2 ways ...careful avoidance/hide and live OR he will start his dance. If he starts the mating process and she is not ready for whatever reason, she will chase him off to the point where he will usually give up. Though, chasing is usually a big part of successful mating ..so dont panic right away.
