Have a very healthy eater! Curious if these little nodules are normal at the very rear of abdomen bottom area? Just noticed it today while videoing a feeding. Using my iPhone for this post if it’s too blurry let me know. Thanks

Hey all, new here and I'm trying to break into the breeding business. My question is this, I've been receiving mixed info about minimum female size for breeding. I've heard as small as 6.5 I've also heard some say no smaller than 9". my female is right a 8 inches and I've secured a male, is it too soon to breed her? he spermethica are fully hardened and shes no little spider but the male is about 11". is it too soon, will she just refuse the male if shes not ready. im trying to do this right.

She is more than ready. :) Sometimes, the males will be larger than the females. That's OK, though. She won't refuse him. It's good to breed her between 6 weeks to 3 months after she has molted.
