I got my breeding group of true form b.albopilosum today, 3 adult females and 1 mature male. Im really excited about finally giving breeding a go. Im praying i get it right. I sat up for afew hours last night reading through the tarantula keepers guide, aswel as searching the internet. Anyway, here they are... so fluffy haha.

Congrats, they're beautiful. Give the females a few weeks to settle in and several meals to fatten them up. Place remnant sperm web in their enclosures and keep his enclosure adjacent o theirs. Let him crawl into the females' enclosures and see what happens. If he bolts try, another female. Please keep posted.

My two WCs have recently mated with my WC male. Feeding the females and waiting.

She might be ready after her next molt, do you know when her last molt was and/or if shes due one soon?
Nope, things were really busy at the show and didn't really have chance to discuss properly. I reckon a recent moult though as does not look that full and all hairs in tact so not much time to flick woukd be my guess. Will try to bulk her up and see what happens. This is all beset on ventral sexing as we're not on sale as sexed so there is still a margin for error. Work comes to the worst though, I will know of a few females who might fancy a visit from a toy boy!
