Poecilotheria pederseni (Ghost Ornamental) - Mating Attempt 2 - FAILED!!

I don't know if they actually mated between 3am and 8am. It was well until... Alfred gets eaten.

I'll miss him and waking me up with his lovely taps making sweet nighttime videos. I'll miss you buddy

could a very large 12" male T blondie eat a full sized 8" female? or are the females much stronger.?? females have huge fangs so males probably outa luck

female lives a lot longer so its good they never get eaten

jon u must give little females big males i think or somethingi

@AussenseiterAktuell

You cannot do this this. Females that are smaller than the males aren't sexually mature to mate/breed. Females eating the males does occur no matter how matter how well fed the female is. Like I said, it really depends on the mood for her receptiveness. In the previous attempt, she was very receptive, this time not at all. I will consider this as I am mating P.regalis

Sorry to hear about Alfred's death. I hope you do get an eggsac.

So sorry that he got munched. Lets just hope she is gravid......

I believe he means that it is a common belief that a big MM usually has more success in breeding then a smaller MM.
