Double clutching is rare. Only a few species are known to double clutch... A. seemanni I believe doesnt.
I had a P.Murinus very large female who triple clutched, only two of the sacs were viable, and she died shortly after, but yes they can.
While I'm waiting for my second female to drop, my first M. balfouri dropped her second (double clutch) egg sac today and it's a bit bigger than the first one she laid a couple months ago.
P. cambridgei, N. incei, P. murinus and H. gabonensis are a couple species that can double clutch.
After searching through all ‘double clutching’ postings, and replies, these are the most I could gathered so far.Yes, double clutching for Poecilotheria is entirely possible. Although I've never had it happen to me, there is some people out there who've had double clutches.
- Catumiri parvum
- Ephebopus uatuman
- Guyruita cerrado
- Heteroscodra maculata
- Heterothele gabonensis
- Idiothele mira
- Monocentropus balfouri
- Neoholothele incei
- Encyocratella olivacea
- Omothymus violaceopes
- Phormingochilus sp Akcaya
- Plesiopelma longisternale
- Poecilotheria ornata
- Psalmopoeus cambridgei
- Psalmopoeus victori
- Pterinochilus murinus
- Sickius longibulbi
However, not once Dolichothele diamantinensis was mentioned regards to ‘double clutching’.
Can Dolichothele diamantinensis double clutch? I came across with one Instagram posting mentioning about it, though I cannot be sure it’s reliable.
Therefore I want to know if it is indeed possible for this specific tarantula species being able to double clutch.
