@ Mist

Until she is settled in and made her home like she wants.

I personally would wait a month before trying to breed!

Thanks!

Which species would you recommend for first time breeders?

Probably B.albopilosum would be a good start.
Saying this though, it does not mean that it will breed with no hassle.
It will still be quite a tricky affair with a chance of it going wrong, just easier than breeding a Pokie or Theraphosa etc.

@ cascade thanks ..then another Question..my other female is way bigger than the male will this be a problem for the male??or does size not matter....?

At what time do you split the slings into their own containers? How and what are the slings fed before and after they are split?

Usually 2nd instr is when they go into their own containers or they become cannonballs.

Feeding

You feed them on pinheads or match head roaches!

Hi All

What about feedig, before and after pairing.

I have read that it is better to over feed the female before introducing the male, as that would decreace the chance of her eating him. But then again some say that its not nnecessary . And what about after the pairing how mutch do you feed her then?

I have done ALLOT of reading on breeding, but some things just dont seem to come up in the breeding reports, or the breeding procedure pages i have read.

Feeding too much before mating could convince the female to moult rather than drop a sac. Again, so could many other things. Personally, I try mate my females within a month or 2 of moulting. I give them a few good meals, but they are far from fat. I mate them then. If the male taps and does his thing the female will know not to eat him, no matter how much she has eaten. I often see females tapping to males before the male taps, just from sensing him (Pheremones, etc), so generally, no need to overfeed before mating.

After pairing, I feed the female as usual or maybe slightly more than usual. Nothing over the top.

This is normally the case.
Google for some images of T's mating then you'll see the difference.
