MM Psalmopoeus victorii- What Should I Do?

[MrFuzzBugz]

I really feel bad, such a rare gem just wasting away in his enclosure. I’m wondering if it’s worth giving him to an experienced breeder, or buying a female and breeding him myself. What do you guys do with your valuable mature males? I have never felt so compelled to do something.

What do you want to do? Do you want to breed him? Or do you want to care for him?

If he’s fresh, try to find a female for him!

I give my males away for free. It’s important to me that they get to live a full life. Sometimes people will buy them outright or you can do a “loan” where you split the sac and / or get your male back if you wanted.

I always trade away my mature males. I think it's important to support captive breeding efforts. But ultimately it's up to you. If there are expos near you that's a good opportunity for networking with breeders near your area.

I would like to contribute to the hobby, but I do not know any breeders. I do not mind keeping him otherwise but I know how rare these guys are and could be a wasted opportunity.

Those sound like good suggestions, I would love to give him away for free if I know he will be bred

How long has he been mature?

I thought I was the only one that gave males away more important to me they get a chance to complete their life's mission and continue the sp in the hobby then me making moneys. Respect to you my friend

How long has he been mature?

He’s been mature for nearly 2 months

You should post an ad for him in the classified section - I'm sure there is someone that can use him.
