I need help for breeding my Psalmopoeus Pulcher, the ultimate molt of my male was on january 31, and the last molt of my female was December 8. The female is around 6 inches DLS, and the male 4.5-5 DLS, what should I do.. I also notice that the male is looks longer compare to the female since the male when resting is stretched out while the female is bulky and doesnt stretch that much

Have you ever paired tarantulas before?

If not do you have a plan for all the slings if you get a good sac?

I wouldn't recommend breeding this species as your first. Although they aren't difficult to breed, Psalmopoeus females can be a lot to handle when you are taking their eggsacks from them.

Males have leggier bodies, females being more “stouty/chubby”. Which could be what you are seeing.


if you are going to breed, as others have said, i do recommend you have a buyer/dealer ready. It would be sad to have spiderlings that you can’t manage once they grow.
