never bred a T before

[prince charmless]

I have been into the hobby for only a year or so, and have no experience breeding Ts. I do however have a breeding pair of Pamphobeteus sp. Machala. The male molted a couple of weeks ago and is now in his full adult colors. Waiting for the female to molt as I do not want to put the male at risk in a coupling only to have the female molt immediately after. My other pair are Nhandu Chromatus. The female molted about three weeks ago and I am planning to attempt a pairing soon. The male does not like being moved and is quick to kick hairs and make threat displays. Planning to construct a breeding enclosure with an easily removable divider. Wish me luck.

try shark-tanking him first to make sure she's receptive. if she's receptive, she'll drum her forelegs as a "call" in response to his taps

place the male in a delicup and place it inside the female's enclosure. it will let you test how receptive the female is.

Sounds good, but this male is about 6" dls. Will need to find a suitably sized container

you dont necessarily have to put him in her enclosure, you can use a larger container and place it against the female's enclosure or even atop in

I will see what containers I have on hand and give it a try, thanks
