Male Grammostola alticeps

[Ultimate Instar]

I have a mature male G. alticeps that molted about 1 1/2 months ago. Obviously, his biological clock is ticking.... Is there much interest in breeding this species? I got him as a freebie so I wasn't prepared to match him up with a female. He wasn't too colorful when I got him, mostly just black, but now he looks terrific, beautiful long red hairs on his legs. Huge tibial spurs, he'd give anyone a bad case of spur-envy. I took some pictures with my Nikon Coolpix 5000 (same as Scott's) and I will try to post them.

If there isn't, there should be. Every bit as attractive as a G. pulchra imo. Unfortunately, mine is but a wee one and unsexed so I won't be needing your boy's services.
