Is there a thread anywhere that tells me anything and everything about breeding tarantulas? I'm an experienced tarantula keeper, having never bred tarantulas, but wanting to.
Yeah, sac sizes vary wildly between species. Some have 100 at most, others often exceed 2000. Definitely look at that as step #1 with any breeding project.I'll heed that advice, I had no idea it would produce that many
Once again, depends on the species. Most are a few months at least, though.Roughly how long after mating will she produce an egg sac?
If you're just starting breeding, I wouldn't start with one of those... Many times the male will jet out of the enclosure after the deed is done, and without breeding experience, you may not be expecting it. A bite from one of those is not fun as you know lol.How difficult would a stromatopelma calceacum be to breed? egg sac size and complexity of the pairing? is it common for people who have the same tarantulas to meet up, or is it best off buying my own?
Agree with Eulers... for example, my female G. rosea was paired last year right around this time. She has yet to give me a sac, but she has certainly fattened up.Roughly how long after mating will she produce an egg sac?
Interesting. thanks for the info guysIf you're just starting breeding, I wouldn't start with one of those... Many times the male will jet out of the enclosure after the deed is done, and without breeding experience, you may not be expecting it. A bite from one of those is not fun as you know lol.

My rosea is not shy about it at all... Kinda weird lol but I've caught him in the act at least a dozen times.To answer the question about sperm webs...yes, the MM will not be fertile until he has loaded his palps. While you rarely see this deed being done (I've managed to catch it twice), you will see evidence after. It looks like a thick(ish) line of webbing...like this.
