Poecilotheria metallica breeding

[fishtail]

Hello guys, I've got a 16cm metallica female and want to try some breeding. However, my friend suggested that I don't because the female tends to die all of a sudden after they mate. He lost two females due to this, I don't know if this is true or are there any things that can be done to prevent this? thanks

Not true

thanks, are there any other difficulties consulting the breeding of this species? because the prices are still quite high

Check out breeding reports section

I keep them, haven't bred them myself yet. But everyone I have talked to says environmental triggers are needed. It's not as simple as a male and female being together. The female may need a wet dry, hot cold season to trigger her dropping eggs.

I'm not experienced to comment more than that, but you can search those points and read loads
