Hi Cody,
I was thinking of calling you to see how she was doing.Baumgarteni are good
eaters and are very easy to care for.This one have 90% of her color.The black in her carapace will get darker with each addional molt.But she is
beautiful.Yours must be getting pretty close to a moult.Keep me posted on
how she's doing.If you ever have any questions PM,email or call me.I just
spent the last hour resizing my pictures to get more detail.The first picture
is 249.1KB's.the second picture is 248.1 KB's.Thay should raise the pictures
to at least 300 KB's.Cody a great day and enjoy your Baumgarteni.There
great tarantulas.The female I was using in sales thread just molted again.I
might post pictures to show people how she developing.She gettig more
black in her carapace with every molt.People think there like Smithi and in a couple of molts thay look like adults.But Baumgarteni don't get there adult
color until thay get to 4-1/2 to 5+ inch. Well Cody got to go.

Hi Joe,
I have a bunch of Baumgarteni that are all a little different than each other.Thay
all have the same basic body shape.Some are a little lighter or darker in color.This one has fiery red flame knees.I have have a couple of others that have red knees.
But the red is not as dark and fiery red.Anyway she a looker.

Hello Rob,
You keep all your Adults in Deli containers like this?
Just wondering.

:drool: wow! she's very sexy.............look at those legs

 

[Satellite Rob]

Hi Chris,
I have a one problem.I have more than 550 adult female T's.I also have at
least 12 males of every species that I breed.I also have about 40 centipedes.
So i'm dealing with a space problem.The only bugs I keep at home are
premolts.So I can give special attention.I also take home the bugs i'm
breeding at the time.I use 12"x4" and 12"x7" deli's for adults.For juvi's and
subadult's I use 8"x4" deli's.For arboreals I use 1/2 gal. plastic jars.I also use
4"x3" deli's and plastic vials for smaller T's and pedes.I'm lucky that I have a
business with a couple of offices not being used.I keep 1 spider on my desk
and she my pride and joy.Now don't laugh.She's a B.Boehmei I got back in
1990.She was 6"+ female.Now she is close to 7-1/2".She never kicks any
hair.She like a old hound dog.I got her before thay became a species.I can't
tell you how old she is.But I had her for 20 years and she was a large adult
when I got her.Well Chris that why I use deli's.If you have any more questions
just ask.So Chris have a great day.

PS:I do have some breeding tank.But it's rare that I use them.

Hello Rob,
Wouldn't it be difficult to get females to lay sacks in those delis?I'm sure they would I suppose but I'd imagine it would better your chances providing them with a hide/retreat of some sort.

Hi Chris,
All my breeders have hides.I only leave egg cases with the females for 20
days.Then i take the egg case away and put in a incubator.I have a
incubator that holds 14 egg cases at a time.It controlls temp,humidity and
rotates the egg cases once an hour.I leave the eggs in the sack and put the
egg case in the incubator.I just got a second one from a friend.Thanks
Brandon.But it not ready to use yet.I have to make some upgrades.I only
rotates egg case once a day and i don't think thats enough.I won't tell you
how many egg cases I produced last year.Because you would think i'm lying.
T's will usually only eat egg cases if there stressed or if there infertle.If you
use females that are breeding form,2 to 4 months from her last molt and you
use a young freshly mature male.You will produce a egg case 100% of the
time.I will never use a loaned male.Because a lot of people will you anything
you want to here.So you will use there male.Hoping to get 50% of your
slings.I stop using my males 4 month old after there maturing molt.Then i'll
give him away and tell the date he matured.If you raise your own males.
You know his history and you won't have a problem.You could get lucky.But
if you do it right.Theres no luck to breeding.It's knowing the times,dates and
history of your T's.Don't stress out your T's.Don't handle or keep them in
active areas.Don't blast loud music.When you feed them do it quick and
remove all dead or pieces of old food items.This way you take the luck out of
breeding.OK I got to stop.I'm ranting.You will still lose a few.But you success
rate will be ten times what it was.Well Chis I got to go.You have a great day.

PS:To answer your question.I never breed her before.But now that she is over
5" she will get a hide and she will get the 12"x7" deli.But thay have no problem
egg cases in the 12"x4" deli's.I have a few spiders with thay are still holding
there egg cases in the same size deli's.If you PM me you email adress?I'll send
you some pictures.

PS:I wholesale all my egg cases.This way I don't have to seperate,house and feed.
Thousands and thousands of T's.Unless thay are rare ones.Then I keep them.

Happy easter man talk to ya later..

If you use females that are breeding form,2 to 4 months from her last molt and you

Satellite Rob

That is not true in the slightest. Your statement is disinformation at best.
There is no way you can say 100%. Timing is important yes, but telling someone you can get results 100% of the time if you follow the time line you suggested is just plain silly.

I only leave egg cases with the females for 20
days.Then i take the egg case away and put in a incubator. I only rotates egg case once a day and i don't think thats enough

At 20 days most egg sacs are really close to eggs with legs and don't need to be rotated a lot. Once a day is more then plenty. More often then not I don't even rotate them past 16 days and they do just fine.
Some species are already eggs with legs at 20 days and don't need to be rotated at all.

I won't tell you how many egg cases I produced last year.Because you would think i'm lying.

I won't even comment because that is just funny lol.

I have more than 550 adult female T's.

When you get bored you should get a picture of all those deli containers stacked up with all those females. I am sure everyone would love to see them!

 

[Satellite Rob]

Hi Joe.
She a looker.Thanks for the advice.I will not dignify the last post with a
responce.He's right about one thing.I don't get 100%.It's probably 90%.Just
because he can't do it.He thinks it can't be done.Well anybody with the time,
resoures and experience can do it to.But to the know it all that gets 25%.
Who thinks he knows everything.Theres just no help for him.I will not get in
a pissing contest again with this person.The last 2 post I made were closed
and locked.Because of the fighting and bickering.This time I refuse to do so.
So don't go away mad.Just go away.If you post again.You will be ignored.
Joe thanks for the post and have a great day.

PS:Let me get this quote right.What do you think about my lighter phase Boehmei?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!

All I am waiting for is actual proof to back up what you say you can do. You talk smoke and mirrors about how you can do this and do that but won't say what you produced and have no real proof of any of it. Just like you told me you successfully breed Brachypelma baumgarteni all the time.
I unlike you don't have to prove anything, everyone knows I produce and produce well. There are a few out there that don't like me but even they know the truth of the matter when it comes to what I can or can't do.

It's probably 90%.Just because he can't do it.He thinks it can't be done.

Not even 90%. Some of the best breeders on this site don't come near 90% success rates. So unless you claim to be better than everyone on the site I really doubt what you say. I'll be the first to eat crow and bow down should you be able to actually produce something and have proof, but I won't hold my breath.

Your disinformation about the hobby is not doing anyone any good. No one should expect to produce at a 90% rate.

I will not dignify the last post with a responce

You already did.

I have more than 550 adult female T's.

So lets play pretend.
If you only tried to breed 1/4th of the 550+ adult female Ts you say you have,
Thats 137 attempts,
At a 90% success rate that puts you at
123 egg sacs for the year,
And that is if you only try with 1/4th of what you got!

I won't tell you how many egg cases I produced last year.Because you would think i'm lying.

As far as I am concerned you NOT saying what you did last year is more of an indication of you lying then just coming out and saying it. Actually anyone worried about being thought of as a liar usually is one.

 

[Satellite Rob]

Yes and I'm one them that does 90%.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!

 

[Talkenlate04]

I wish there was more genuinely informative posts such as this on the forums, thanks for the great read, Rob!
