Why are most of my t`s males?

[spider]

Hey, Why is it that 4 of my 15 t`s are males?I mean they`re cool and all but i wanted girls!


My list of males= A.geniculata, P.Regalis, T.Apophysis, Orange tree spider.

P.S the P.Regalis is actually my dads.


Are they males cuz of the tempature that they were kept
in the eggsac?

Actually 4 out of 15 isn't bad. Youre beating the odds anyway.

I`m actually waiting to check on the othes well most of them.


I`m praying that my goliath bird eater is a female.

if you buy from a pet store, i hear that they buy male's b/c their supplier either only carry males or that theyre cheaper
4 of 15 isnt most

4 of 15 isnt most [/B][/QUOTE]

Males are where the money is at. I've a male Haplopelma Aueropilosum, so far four females are going to use him, providing all goes well. Think of it as each of those spider owners makes £50 (random unrelated number) and I could make £200

See it as an investment if it cheers you up a bit.

Deifiler has made a good point. I would send out any known males for breeding, thats the only thing they are meant to do.

(spiderwise anyway )

i know how they feel :}
then why do the females cost more? just b/c of longevity?

Bit of an understatement, don't you think?

Females live from 5-10X longer than the males, keep their adult form and coloration that entire period, and can be repeatedly bred for 20 years or longer for some species.

The males finally get adult coloration ... and they die.
