Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rick Stallard" data-source="post: 35810" data-attributes="member: 3166"><p>They make the web, crawl under it and deposit sperm on it. Then they use their pedipalp to soak up the sperm and store it. I've had males make 2-3 sperm webs before they are bred. That should be the only time you see one on it's back, and during molt. So, he's ready if you know of someone that has a MF and wants to breed, your set. I don't have a MF, but I'm sure someone here does and might want to get a breeding program going. Most times you can provide the male and get half the spiderlings.</p></blockquote><p></p>
