Avicularia pairing

[michaelbixby]

I have watched lots of videos and read quite a bit of stuff on breeding avics but i want some others advice as well about how long after paring did yalls female drop a sac how long would you recommend leaving it in there for when you get slings do you put them straight in a arboreal enclosure after incubation or should i put em in a little deli cup with substrate like i would a fossorial sling or terrestrial also is there a certain temp i should shoot for to keep my female at sorry for all the questions this is my first time paring tarantulas so just tryna get everything right also they are just common avic-avic Guyana pink toe

I recommend watching Dave's Little Beasties as he has a very well made and informative video of breeding them. I recommend watching his content if you're looking for informative information on tarantula pairings.

about how long after paring did yalls female drop a sac

This is the the one question that will never get a solid answer. Every and all female tarantulas will drop an egg sac whenever they're ready. There is no set time frame when they'll make an egg sac after pairing. Just treat the female well after pairing and she'll be ready whenever that time comes.

do you put them straight in a arboreal enclosure after incubation or should i put em in a little deli cup with substrate like i would a fossorial sling or terrestrial

It depends on you on what you want to put the slings in, but if the enclosures are fine, then it shouldn't be a big issue.

certain temp i should shoot for to keep my female

Just keep the female warm and it should be fine. I just keep mines 78F+, but to each their own about female care after pairing.

Thank you so much for the reply and I have watched loads of Dave's paring videos and tips lol they are very good info as well just wanted some other opinions and sounds good I'll just keep my normal routine for my female and wait and see if she drops a sac as for the enclosure for slings i think I'll set them up how toms big spiders does with the inverted deli cups flipped upside down I keep my tiny versi color in a enclosure just like it and have been having much success so I think that's what I'll go with thank you again really appreciate it

Recommend Just Keeping for a while and Researching / Learning as much as possible over Time.

high temps arent necessary....as long as youre around 70, you will be fine

Alright I was kinda stressing about that cause my rooms usually in the mid to lower 70s but since you say that I think it should be fine thank you

This is common bred species. Much info should be available if searched for: with attention on words used. Daves is great ressource, im surprised he does these. He dont like new worlds that much

that being said, an avic aint no pokie and if they leave slings with pokies, you could leave em with an avic. Depends of your goal/needs.

once you drop them in their own enclosure, it can be a dram vial. It doesnt take long for them to be feeling arboreal.

once they get that fuzzy look, they usualy ready for their first sling enclosure.

dave has good advice.

Thank you very much I have been constantly watching Dave's paring videos and listening to his advice but there where just a few things I was concerned of but do you think if I just put the slings in enclosures like tom moran does with flipping the salsa containers upside down Im thinking of keeping the slings in those for there first enclosure do you think that would work

Since i did not watch that specific video, i cant say.

but if you doubts and smart questions, Dave will answer them if you write to him. Just don’t ask about humidity

Search the forum, check breeding reports

Thank you I didn't even think of that I just read quite a few and I think I have mostly everything figured out could you possibly tell me something though I don't ever mist my females enclosure I just have a decent size water bowl when she has the sac should I start misting the bottom layers of the substrate a little to keep the sac from drying out while it's in there or should it be fine

It helps to use proper punctuation. Some people scan posts and if they don’t see a ?, and nothing but a huge “sentence” as you have done, they ignore the post

A nice 8 year cheddar, say from Quebec or Vermont, with a nice middle-of-the-road Napa can like a Faust, or Whitehall.

Thank you for the video I have watched this but I wanted to see if I could just use the hammock way on a heat pad or a container with damp sphagnum moss on the bottom and a heat pad on the bottom of the container instead of having to build a whole nursery for the avics

I wanna setup my common Avic avics egg sac in the hammock style incubator, but my room is around 74 degrees. Has anyone successfully hatched a sac in that temp without any additional heat or can I hook up a heating pad and set the hammock on top of that on the corner, or a container filled with damp sphagnum moss and a heat pad on bottom like Urban tarantulas does in his videos. I've also watched tons of Dave's little beasties videos but I don't really wanna build a whole nursery thing if I don't have to for avics so if anyone could help that would be great. Also the sac is not here yet just wanna make sure I have everything correct if it's fertile
