Anyone ever bred S. grossa, the cupboard spider or false widow? I have a male and a female, and I want to pair them up. How should I go about doing this?

If the male and female are mature, just put him in. There’s not much science to breeding widows.

Oh ok! How do I tell if they are mature? Ive have the female for a few months and she hasn't molted, so I think she's mature, but I just caught the male

The male is mature if he has black and obvious pedipalps. You can take photos if you’d like. For the female, you kind of have to go off of size. Based on your description, I’d say it is likely that she is mature.
