Pairing the B. emilia

[xhexdx]

This guy was a total stud - first attempt with his first female, and he nailed it.

That's cool! B. emilia is a great looking spider. So far it takes first place in my collection as the slowest grower.
Good luck with getting a sac!

GL Joe!Those are such beautiful spiders.. Any tips you care to share either here,or via PM?Color me curious,as we have a project in the works..

Well, I don't really have any tips regarding the pairing, and I haven't had success breeding this species yet (I've only tried on one other occasion, and the female ended up dying).

Most of the info I have in my head and the strategy I plan on implementing unofficially comes from here:

We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the well-wishes from both of you.

Good luck joe! Are u documenting the whole process? I have also some breeding projects ready for this specie. Just waiting for the males to mature...

Beautiful! Brachypelma emilia is one of my favorite species. Not really flashy or gaudy, but still gorgeous. Good luck Joe!

Thanks guys.

Not much to document so far - but yeah, I'll keep records of what I'm doing as time progresses.
