My female which unfortunately died recently. Original swedish bred (thanks, Lelle!). Would just have loved to mate her with that freaky male...

 

[aftershock]

Really nice pictures by the way!!!

Very interesting post. Even more impressive that you successfully breed them. Nice pics and keep up the good work.

BTW, since you're local to these guys... can you obtain some antivenin and keep it around for "unfortunate" occasions? Or do you really just get to be that careful?

 

[Adnan]

Thanks!

can you obtain some antivenin and keep it around for "unfortunate" occasions?

If I need help, the best way is the Butantan Institute. But in most situations, painkillers do the job...

dang! nice spider adnan! they sure are growing up

Would just have loved to mate her with that freaky male...

My friend told me that the male has been killed... after 3 consecutive nights with 3 different females.

Well... 3 nights with 3 females... lucky freaky guy! Sometimes they are
killed just after they enter in the female enclosure...

Unbelievable

Bad luck with that male!

But anyway, if he has done his job successfully on 3 females i guess it´s ok.
It´s the first nigriventer male i ever hear of who has survived a mating....

What do you mean with "painkillers usually get the job done", are you refering to the statistics or did you get tagged and find it out on your own?

Greetings,

Me too... my first attempt results in a dead male, but in a gravid female as well. Hope my friend get same lucky with the 3 females.

Statistics! Yet...
