balfouri breeding tips?

[NukaMedia Exotics]

Anyone have tips on breeding M. balfouri? My female just molted and from what I've read you can try breeding maybe 2-3 weeks after the molt? Also should I try pairing with 2 males or only 1?

I am no breeder, but I do know that your female should be well-fed before breeding so that the male doesn't end up as lunch, or at least the risk may be reduced... No guarantees! (Or so i'm told.)

1. M. Balfouri is a communal species so there should be no reason to worry about the male getting eaten. And about breeding two males with a female, I've seen many vendors sell reverse trio breeding groups, so presumably, it would be best to get two males and 1 female. But I'm quite new to this hobby so you should ask for advice from, mass exodus, t-baby, arachnoclown, Phil, Casey k. and many more experienced members.

M. balfouri are an excellent beginner "breeding" project because they are communal as stated. The mothers take very good care of their slings after they hatch. She will surface long enough to catch them a meal and feed them. Then she will resurface and catch her own prey.

I hope you produce sacs with both females. Do you plan on leaving babies with mom or separating?

leave with mum. I think it looks cute and like the way she brings food back and let's them feast on the prey.
