He looks like he'll make an excellent breeder and his colors are amazing.

Good grief....my post to evil_educators "Freshly moulted (sp?) pictures" applies equally, if not more to this fellow. Absolutely stunning!!! What are the prospects of an offspring being shipped to San Francisco?

you are running 4 steps in front of me:
1 there has not been a mating
2 there is no sac
3 there are no spiderlings
4 they will be in the Netherlands, and with CITES and all....

so for now i would say your chanches are slim, very slim.

Hey Eddy, It will take me just as long to convince my wife to allow me to add to my collection as it will for you and your fellow to come up trumps ;-)

BREEDING: not a good angle for pictures, but the male managed both inserts.
