Breeding Ts for begginers

[BoyFromLA]

He told me the females tend to be quite aggressive towards males. Hard to believe given how docile they are, but in his experience, that's what he observed.

Exactly as he described it to me.

Happy to clarify. I often leave short answers in hopes that people will look up the information on their own, I feel that method helps them retain the information better than passively learning it from another person- exceptions always. You can call it pretentious or any other poor assumption, but my type of response is not meant to be that, but whatever you call it is up to you.

Below is you in bold

"I would guess the good starter species for regular keeping are also the best for breeding."

Not all good beginner species are easy to breed. H. chilensis is one - at least according to one of the first people to breed them in North America (maybe the first) I spoke with. He told me the females tend to be quite aggressive towards males. Hard to believe given how docile they are, but in his experience, that's what he observed. G. pulchra is another great species to start with, but not so easy to breed from what I gathered at one point. GBBs also are not easy to breed (not all consider them starter species due to speed, sometimes I don't, sometimes I do depending on the person, primarily because like OBTs, they are tough as nails re husbandry errors.

Thanks for the clarification. Intention is irrelevant, you came accross as pretentious. Not an assumption, just an opinion.

Sure thing. Intention is VERY relevant. To be specific, to you I came across that way, not to the entire planet.

If my intention was to come across as pretentious, then your assumption/opinion would be TRUE, that is based on fact. Until you learned said fact of my intent, you merely have an assumption/opinion, nothing more.

However, that was not my intent as you learned from my answer upon clarification.

Either way, I don't care as I said earlier. Nor do I care to get into another discussion of semantics like what was done previously with you. I have not forgotten.

We are here to discuss tarantulas not what you thought about my correct, 1 word answer.

If you want to go into semantics PM me

Many contradictions and unnecessary things were said in that paragraph lol. You dont want to discuss semantics, oh wait, you do? Oh no, you don't agree with my opinion? I don't care.

Your statement also never was backed by any real evidence. I said generally beginner ts would probably be good breeding ts. All you did was name a couple specimens, rather than an actual beginner genus, which would support your one word answer better. You have yet to prove my statement wrong. A few random species don't disprove my claim. Im not saying I'm right, but a "right" statement backed with garbage evidence and reasoning will not stand.

You undoubtedly have a lot of knowledge on ts. However, most interactions with you are abrasive and accomplish nothing. For both of our sakes, I'm discontinuing further interaction with you.

You either don't know how to communicate or you don't know what you writing. You certainly have your facts right. I'm not surprised.

1. You never wrote "generally" in your first response see below.

I would guess the good starter species for regular keeping are also the best for breeding

The above statement is flat out wrong.

2. I named two species, which means I named 2 genera to demonstrate why you were wrong. You wrote "starter species". Well I named 2 starter species that are difficult to breed- case closed.

As always you have no idea what you are talking about at times. Is that your fault -NO. You simply LACK EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE for now. Maybe when you are 20 or 25 yrs old after reading all those years you will know more information about these animals like other members in that age range do. It just depends on how committed you are to learning, nothing else.

Please do put me on ignore.

Any ideas on what species of tarantula are good starter species for breeding/mating would be looking to breed/mate less defensive more layed back species that are easy to breed and are terrestrial species ...it would be my first time breeding tarantulas

My first choice will always be Caribena versicolor in response to this question.

I would love to breed my Thrixopelma cyaneolum female at one point in the future. I seem to be one of a few people who owns them in europe and would love to share this awesome species.
Does anybody have some informations about breeding them?
