[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 198148, member: 36911"] You have asked a very interesting question [USER=37398]@Jenniferinfl[/USER], and as I have no tarantula breeding experience and only a few months of nervous tarantula ownership, I really can't offer you any fact-based advice. But seeing as a lack of knowledge has never stopped me from giving advice, here is mine. I concur with MBullock, and think that G. pulchra might be a good starting point for breeding. They are slow growers but seem to be in demand and get what I think are fairly good prices. And they are so damn beautiful. [USER=30996]@Konstantin[/USER] showed a beautiful picture of his a while back in May. ( I have two young ones including a 2" +shy cutie I got from [USER=1090]@Casey K.[/USER] - she just molted btw Casey and thanks) I just don't know the difficulty of breeding them. I heard that G. rosea, can be difficult to breed. By the way, roseas might be another option as their native Chile has curtailed exports of them. They too seem to be easy going. My 2"+ male I got from [USER=32356]@tomz1637[/USER] is the most active of my 4 Ts and almost never goes into its hide. I did want to add that you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and are taking a thoughtful and conscientious approach to this. [/QUOTE]
