Yes but does that mean that mine with similar markings is an adult or no, mine are WCs that i dont know how many molts theyve had or if shes even mature yet
I will feed her a dubia then put the male in, shes pretty fat she ate like 3 massive crickets last week, should i do this during day?At least you have to try it, risk it... Markings on venatoria can be very different. When she is not hungry, she won't eat the male but will show herself defensive... I just would put the male inside...
Put them together, male and female didnt interact at all for over 2 hours staring at each other in the dark so i pulled the male and will wait a bit more i thinkAt least you have to try it, risk it...

I FOUND IMAGES of a mature females epigyn my female is not mature yet, (ants canada has a female venatoria or similar species and i was able to identify a few frames where it shows it and mine doesnt have it developed yet. Pulled the male out since they cant breed yet so ill update when she molts and is hardened a few days after if shes ready. (Epigyn is white dot, mines nearly there though i think)I did it twice with venatoria. It took a longer time (~45min) before they started, but there was always movement...
She just molted and i see what i think is the epigyn fully formed how long should i wait post molt.I did it twice with venatoria. It took a longer time (~45min) before they started, but there was always movement...
She fell off the top of the tank, i placed her in a smaller container with a piece of cork i found her half death curled i hope she pulls throughgive her some weeks...
She molted early morning Wednesday and fell Friday night i hope she wad hardened enough to survive it she wasnt dead just sluggish so im hoping any injuries might be survivable at least until next molt she may have complications i just need her to hold on long enough to layFell of when molting? If that is the case it is a death sentence.
"Aboreal molters" (don´t know if this is a correct word) never survive when falling (while molting)...
But this is not your fault, this happens in wild nature every day...
She passed away, i found a slice on her leg where she fell onto the rock, i think she tried to walk and reopened it and bled out… ill try to find another female but this is a really tough blow.ok, that´s another point of view. i thought she fell while molting... true spiders harden quickly.
So after extensive searching (and about a 30 mile drive) i found a mature female, fed her up, put her in the tank, gave her about an hour to settle in then put the male in and found them babymaking so its all gone well so far, hopefully i can retrieve the male but if not his offspring will be great im sure.ok, that´s another point of view. i thought she fell while molting... true spiders harden quickly.
He's got a good chance with enough running room. Males are a little faster. Could you keep track and post how soon after mating she quits eating?hopefully i can retrieve the male but if not his offspring will be great im sure.
She made a lunge at him and then i pulled him out hes aliveHe's got a good chance with enough running room. Males are a little faster. Could you keep track and post how soon after mating she quits eating?
Hey about how long do you think itll take for her to lay the sac and should i seperate it from her when she does?ok, that´s another point of view. i thought she fell while molting... true spiders harden quickly.
