Usually, yes.
But like a few people have said, first just get use to keeping them before you jump into breeding.
Not as simple as following a few easy steps and getting a viable sac. Could take a year or more before you have any success. Spiders are unfortunately not a quick way to make bucks. :)

I'm about to give up, but ill give it one more shot. :)

Why are you getting into tarantulas? From your username you sound like you could possibly be a pet shop? Are you wanting to keep them as pets, or just make money off of them?

There is no picture, so I can't tell how long till the spider is mature?
For a female to mature from spiderling, it could take anything from 2 years to 10 years, depending on temperature, humidity, amount of feeding, etc.
They are a decent tarantula species to start with.
The female might eat the male, yes, but again depends on each spiders temperament and chances can be reduced of losing the male with enough research.
They are relatively easy to breed, but a hassle to get rid of 2000 slings at R5 each.

Not sure if there is an echo in here, but maybe try keeping the spiders as pets and then see if its for you. Spiders are not an easy and quickfire way to make cash.

I was asking about slings and no not a pet store me and my wife have plans to set up a reptile farm and that is our long term goal and we were thinking about having a nice tarantula display as they fascinate me in the same way snakes did like 20 odd years ago and have been keeping and breeding ever since!!!! sorry for all the question but thought that's what forum where for.

anyways I will be getting 6 Lasiodora klugi sling and growing them up already have a place for them in my reptile room temperature controlled to 25°C 24/7 and humidity never below 50% in the room!!!!

Nice. Tarantulas are pretty hardy, so they don't need those constants. In fact, I have had good breeding success by letting mine drop to the low teens during winter and increase to over 30 in the summer.

Enjoy your new additions. :)
