Yes I breed them. The female and the male are both wild caught, but the female molted before I bred her. The male was a loan.

I am not sure. I have not been able to find any info to say it's not.
Some one back in the day may have. Like Bryant capiz maybe . I am looking into it.

[miarachnids]

The female is still holding the egg sac. I will be pulling the sac on 09/07/09-
I can't wait to open it.:D

[recluse]

I love this genus, however the heat in NM would cook them, not on my list.

[Loudog760]

Very cool. I look froward to the update!

[xhexdx]

I agree, I'm looking forward to the update as well.

I do hope you documented this well and will be publishing a breeding report for us to use in the future. :)

I pulled the sac today. I couldn't wait any longer. Huge eggs! They look good. They should develop into eggs with legs in about a week. I will try to post picks tomorrow.

There are only about 40 or 50 slings I think. I leave them in the sac till they are 2nd instar so I won't be able to get an good count for a month or so.
