Hey all. Only a few days after my big g. rosea female molted, my male molted too.
This was his ultimate molt and he is now decked out with some huge tibial spurs.
Once they've had time to recover from their respective molts, and my male has made a sperm web, I'd love to make an attempt at breeding them. I understand it can be difficult to get an eggsac and even more difficult to successfully hatch one, but I'd like to give it a go if only as a learning experience.
So, I'd like to ask, aside from the usual stuff (I've got the Schultz book), has anyone got any pointers? Or even any stories about how it went on when you attempted to breed your rosies?
Another thing I'm wondering is, on the outside chance that I am successful, what the heck am I going to do with 50+ rosea slings? For those of you who have had success with breeding, have you had a hard time adopting out all of the slings? I'm figuring that selling them would probably be next to impossible, since you can buy an adult for $5 or $10.
Any tips/advice/stories would be appreciated!
Thanks!
