While the video is processing; the female, which I have owned for about 7 years, molted approximately two and a half weeks ago. She accepted food this morning. The male was sent to me by Jeff1962, and matured sometime in December or January, if memory serves correctly.
A big thanks to Talkenlate04 for answering many questions!

Very nice video. Your girl is huge. I always love to see the tapping, (tarantula talk). Good work and good luck.

Awesome ! I am sure glad my boy,(your boy now), got the chance to mate. Also good to see he did not get eaten.

If all goes well I would sure like a couple slings.

If all goes well Jeff I'll hook you up. It would be cool to send you your grandchildren! After all, I couldn't have done it without you!

Awesome look at that! Congrats! Beware they can have really REALLY big egg sacs sometimes
My last say was 1600+ strong and I think my gal was smaller than yours.
Good luck keep us updated!

OMG! Are you serious? I didn't know they could have so many. My curly dropped her sac a few days ago and its HUGE. All I can say is at least I have a lateralis colony. Thats gonna be a lot of mouths to feed.
