Oh Dang those are hentzi slings? How many were there?P murinus is supposed to be one of the easiest but my attempt last year was a bit disappointing. I had a grand total of 3 slings!
I am sure my attempt was probably the more of an exception than the norm but that just goes to show that even though it is supposed to be "easy" doesnt mean you cant fail LOL
I am probably cursing myself by saying this but I have always had real good success with Aphonopelma hentzi. The only thing is, they will be able to make a sac 1 year but the next year they will molt so no need in breeding them but every other year.
Yeah and there will be a "few" spiderlings LOL

10 wow, I have two, and I think they might both be males. I am not sure yet on one, they are only 2.5" or so.talkenlate04 thanks.i have 10 Pterinochilus murinus not mature yet.but maybe next year.
i have heard that Pterinochilus murinus is the easiest to breed.any one think that is wrong?i have tried Grammostola aureostriata and Grammostola rosea but with no luck.
Citharischius crawshayi is one of the hardest species to breed. It'll be awhile before you start breeding these. I wish you the best of luck though.i will try Avicularia avicularia to breed next.my goal is to breed Citharischius crawshayi and Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens.
i have two female roseas .both made a sack one was eaten and the other was infiertile.the g. aureostriata never made a sack.mating went good on all.i had the female g.rosea mate with the male .you could see the venom dripping off of his legs onto her.How long ago did you breed them? Why do you think you have failed?
Oh wow, thats just bad luck. How often did you sneak a peak at the female while she was holding the sac? Maybe they just weren't ready to be mothers.i have two female roseas .both made a sack one was eaten and the other was infiertile.the g. aureostriata never made a sack.mating went good on all.i had the female g.rosea mate with the male .you could see the venom dripping off of his legs onto her.
every day i would check on them.i just look through the the the cage.Oh wow, thats just bad luck. How often did you sneak a peak at the female while she was holding the sac? Maybe they just weren't ready to be mothers.
haha I didnt even bother trying to count all of those. That picture was taken after I sold/give away a bunch and the cup was still full! I guesstimate 500-800? This species is native to where I live so I always release most slings. Its my way of replacing the female I caught a few years ago and of course when I collect wandering males in the Fall. The mother of those slings was mated last Fall and I have had her cooling off all Winter. I would say I could get another egg sac really soon if I would bring her inside to warm up. I might do that in the next few daysOh Dang those are hentzi slings? How many were there?
