Brazilian Black tarantulas mating
Loading...
Uploaded by DMexotics on Jul 3, 2011
In June I had four adult female Brazilian Blacks molt and my male had his mature molt as well. The timing seemed unbelievably lucky and almost choreographed. I am not new to keeping tarantulas but this aspect of the hobby is a different story. I realize G. pulchra are definitely not the easiest spiders to breed and probably the worst choice for a newbie like me. What can I say? I work with what I like :) This was the first of four females. I would have to say this was almost textbook. As they disengaged and I placed down my "rescue spatula", I heard and felt her fangs hit the plastic. Not sure what would have happened if I did not actively referee that match. Regardless, I am happy with how that one went tonight.

How do you break it up if they get tangled up really tight in a fight? I mean too close to get a spatula between them? Is there a way to break it up before one of them gets killed?

Well done!!!! Beautiful pulchras!

If you get lucky and actually get to the point of sitting on a bunch of slings, you will have no problem moving them. Contact me if/when that day comes :)

It is very common for the female to eat the male after breeding(or sometimes before anything happens). One idea is that the female consumes the male as a form of nourishment that really gives her a health boost to start the entire reproductive process. However, it could just be spiders being spiders as opportunistic predators. I've got more breeding plans for this male so it is VERY important that I maximize his potential as I rotate him through the girls.
