Mating Theraphosa blondi

[GoTerps]

I mated Theraphosa blondi this afternoon and wanted to share a few pics. The pairing went very well, good inserations and the female let the male calmly walk away. I'll pair them up again in a few days probably.

How did you keep the female after mating? Did you keep her cool for a few months or no?

 

[Tarantula]

I just kept her as usual.. around 25-26°C and whit a high humidity. I also fed her much.

1st time it was eaten and second time infertile

I'm speechless at the moment. Go back and look at the mating pictures on the previous page.

The "female" just molted today into a mature male :wall: :wall:

I got her as "female" and the only molt before this one was torn up badly... and I have such a terrible reaction to Theraphosa urticating hairs that I pretty much stay clear... of molts and the spider.

The mating in the pictures was very straightforward... both tapping to each other A LOT. "He" acted just like you would expect a receptive female to act. They even hooked up on 2 seperate occassions.

I was dissapointed the other week when I saw "her" rump darken up, as I knew I wouldn't be getting a sac.
The look on my face when I checked the container today and saw a fresh male had to be priceless!

This isn't a joke and I did not get specimens confused. These are the only T. blondi I've ever owned.

hehehe oh well I now know I'm not the only one with a gay invertebrate.

blondi bliss...

I guess some blondi slings could be in order for this year! Excellent photos!
The male I had from Old Hag was a most gentle lover. Waiting on my two girls to drop. Good luck!!

Heh, no blondi slings from this couple unless they're adopted...
