Which Tarantula species do you think is most likely to munch on the male before or after a breeding attempt? I realize all species are capable but some are more likely than others?

I'm just asking to satisfy my morbid curiosity,

Mostly the new worlds species are the partner aggressive/hungrier ones than the old worlds in my breeding experiences. Kind of weird saying that, since old worlds are usually considered the more venomous/defensive species of tarantulas.

Aren't GBBs notorious for male-munching? Thought I remembered reading about the difficulty in breeding them due to that.

He looks like he's running for his life! 😂 Is that his enclosure on the right? I can't even see the substrate, pretty cool webbing.

That was his "Sperm Web" Bachelor Pad, and yes the substrate is completely hidden in web. That's in the bath tub and he had a quick exit to his safe haven. The camera foreshortening hides the fact that she is half again bigger than he is. She's a big girl
