Today, someone has just email me that he already shipped out the spiders, a female B. smithi and G. rosea. It should be here on Wednesday. I can't wait for them. Yaaay! Both the spiders are nine years old.
I do have a question regarding the B. smithi . Is nine year old enough of a female redkneed to breed? If not, how many more years do I have to wait? See I have already choosen a male for her mate, but he's not mature yet; he's only two years old, but he is big. I've raised the male myself from spiderling since the color wasn't even visible yet. I gave it to someone for a present, but I know he will lend it to me if wanted to breed them in the future. Stan Schultz said it may take as long as 15 years for male Mexican red kneed to mature! Is there anyway I can speed this up a bit? How long does it take it to mature with powerfeeding?
