"Loading his Gun"

[NorthwestInverts]

Here's a shot of one of my A. avicularia mature males "charging his palp". He is a one armed bandit, matured with only 1 palp, but he sure does get the job done with relatively no problems.
Sorry if it's not perfectly clear, It's a pic from the outside of the cage.

Take Care, Dean

That is a great picture. I wish mine would hurry up and charge his palps so they can get some action together.

What a great close up. I think this is the best "gun loading" pic I've ever seen. Thanks for posting it.

You wouldn't be saying gross if you had a pair of tarantulas that you really wanted to breed. You would be dancing with joy

It's not the number, it's how you use them

Good luck with the one armed bandit, and great photo!

Once a male T has collected his sperm from the sperm web, how long until it goes away or wares off? like how long does he have to find a female?

I wonder what makes the male T ejaculate ?
The construction of the sperm web ?
Some hormone triggered by web building or the ultimate molt ?
Anybody know?
