Tutorial on Basics of Tarantula Mating

Revised Video of how to mate Ts, includes how to tell if you have a mature female (you have no idea how often this question comes up). Mistake at 2:00 in the vid: should be "ALL Mature males possess BULBOUS PALPS, NOT tibial hooks". Sorry :p

hai jon i have a female brachypelma albopilosum

i have her 7 months she eats alot and she didnt molt yet she is 14 or 15 cm

you think shes ready to breed ?

[Jon3800]

@ScreamFireAim

I'd wait for her to molt, then she will be ready to breed.

hey, my rosie molted near the end of august last year, and she is 11-12 years old, is it ok if i mate her now? Or should i wait till the next molt?

@FightAgainstGrenades

[gecko091]

hey jon do you know how long it takes a g.rosea to lay sac

[Jon3800]

@gecko091

I don't unfortunately. Likely 3-4 months

I guess The one person who dislike this vid doesn't know how to mate Ts LOL

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Lampropelma are pretty easy to sex as well. Even just before the ultimate molt.

@Jon3800 i've seen the pictures of the male, almost as big as the female and is RCF

[FightAgainstGrenades]

@Jon3800 ok because i find a guy that can sell me a mature male, and i really want to breed my rosie, also she is very calm in this period, well at least since the last time she gave me a threat posture like 2 weeks ago, man that day she was mad as hell. But there is only one problem, the last time she ate was almost 2 months ago, and she doesn't want to eat

@990Brogan

you remove the sac and incubate them into a incubator similar to what RobC has done. I've never made a vid about that yet since I never got to that point..If you remember, the only time I got a sac was from those H.maculata. It wasn't good, because I kept it way too dry and pulled it out too late.
