I'm going to try my hand at breeding to get great at it and eventually start sellings Ts.
I'm getting into selling Ts as a side gig, for the experience and for love of the hobby not the money.
And I know the stories about viable sacs, they're a lot of work and time consuming so what I'll do is let a few eat the others, freeze some and sell the rest.
Below are the pairs I can afford right now and the questions I have for each species
Hysterocrates laticeps
Lasiodora parahybana
Pamphobeteus sp. "Flammifera"
Pamphobeteus sp. "Machala
Sericopelma rubronitens
Xenesthis immanis
Theraphosinaesp. "Peru"
Tapinauchenius cupreus
Sericopelma sp. "Chiriqui, Panama"
Sericopelma rubronitens
Pamphobeteussp. "Machala"
Questions:
When it comes to putting males in the female's tank the only "ready to go sign I need is the male's sperm web correct?
Sac size for each one
Which ones are well known male killers
Can i leave the sacs inside and let mom take care of them ?
Since none of these are adult pairs, how often do I feed the male of which ever species I acquire? ( the females I should feed heavily /more correct?)
Which species listed if any, make hammock sacs and which ones make regular ones
If Im not sure if an insertion was made is there a way to tell by looking at the underside of a female T?
Egg gestation for each species
Out of the Ts listed which one does the hobby need the most of?
Any of these species easier to get a sac from than the others?
( I am keeping in mind the fact that no viable egg sacs will be guaranteed from any species listed above)
Things I know:
The male needs to be put into the female enclosure.
The male doesn't need to/shouldn't stay in there overnight
As long as there are a few good insertions they don't need to be put together more than once
Make sure the female has already molted and make sure she's well fed before the meeting.
**side note**: NONE of these are adult pairs so I still have a lot of time to ask questions/learn.
All help/info/advice is greatly appreciated
