*PLEASE* send this male to someone who knows what they're doing and has experience breeding spiders such as this. I can recommend a few people to you privately if you'd like.

This is a species that desperately needs to be captive bred. I no longer keep them personally, b/c the urticating hairs and me don't play nice, but would love to see them someone succced in producing them in captivity.

I've bred Megaphobema and gotten sacs before, but this is my first specimen of this species. Also, the lab I work in has produced a Megaphobema velvetasomma eggsac in the past. I don't think I can afford a female right now so I'm very interested in anyone you know who might be willing to breed these. Still, this was a guaranteed female so I have to wait until the seller contacts me and and we can figure out what they want to do.

What Megaphobema species have you bred? You've gotten viable sacs?

When did your lab breed this species? They bred them, or had a WC drop an eggsac?
