So some of you may know but I've had a number of breeding projects progressing throughout the later months of this year.
I currently have an almost certainly gravid B albopilosum and S calceatum with the potential of C lividus, B boehmei, P striata, and G sp. "Northern Gold" on the way. (All have been paired but too soon to tell)
And in the reading I've done I've seen some methods (mostly in older threads since most of the breeding reports are at least 5 years old with a large number over 10 years old) specifically that of trying to "trigger" females into dropping sacs.
I've heard of flooding, cool down periods, rehousing ECT in efforts to trigger sacs but haven't really seen any data to support the consistency of these methods.
I know for a lot of grammostola a cooldown is a bit more common, but what about other species? Is there any validity to these methods or are they just coincidence?
What are your experiences/methods?
Does anyone have any specific experience with any of these species? I've yet to produce a sac from any of these species so I have no experience with them.
As of right now I'm just staying the course and giving none of them any specific treatment. All are kept in the common T room where temperatures are kept at 78-80 during the day and tapered to roughly 70-72 at night.
Thanks for your time, wish me luck
