Mature males

[Spots]

Anyone in the Los Angeles area who has mature male B. Auratum or T. Albopilosus (Nicaragua) please let me know.
I would like to do a 50/50 split on the slings if successful.
Or, if you would like to sell me your penultimate or recently MM outright, let me know.

How much breeding experience do you have? I have a few males available for experienced breeders.

Just starting out on breeding. I have tried P.Metallica and A.Geniculata before (none of the males got eaten)

I am open to purchase the male also.

That's awesome!
Did you produce successful sacs?

Late response to your question, I missed it.
To answer your question, no, did not produce any sacs even after I thought it was a successful pairing.

The females molted on both occasions (arrhh!)

Just recently paired my T.albo and looks to be a success; the male is still alive. (still viable if anyone needs him)
Hopefully she produces a sac.

And just got a male P.met, just waiting for him to mature now.

Now I need a mature male B.aurutum to pair with my big mama.

Gotta make sure the female is ready also. She's got to be fresh (usually within 6 months if shes a young female). A older mature female can be many years from molting. A lot of times pairing will kick the female into molting if she's not fresh. That's why it's good to keep your male around. There's alot more to just having a mature male. Good luck

100% agree, however I (the males) did not have the luxury of time on their pedipalps.

That was one of the reasons that I just had to pair the pairs when I did.
(I think that goes for most if not all T breeders)

It has a lot to do with timing.
