Brachypelma albopilosum

[Hwarang]

SUCCESSFUL

Female moulted 09.X.2004 and the first attempt was 20.XI.2004. Don’t know about male. She ate a few crickets before meeting. No other special. Humidity and temp the same as in the whole room.


We put the male into the female cage, it’s quite big and there’s a lot of space. Female had her own big burrow.


First attempt was unsuccessful. Both of them were ready, and do drums, but male couldn’t do his job because of the glass wall;) They were trying for a few minutes and then female lost patience and go home.

At the second time was the same problem with wall, but this time they fell outside the cage and do what they should do.

There was a third attempt, but female didn’t answer for male drumming.

There was no special post mating care, standard temp and humidity.

Female laid the sack 05.III.2005, so it was 105 days after date. She wasn’t eating in this days.

The sac was with the female till 31.III.2005 (26days) the we get it from her (she wasn’t aggressive at all)and carefully check. The postembryos was in. After that I didn’t turned eggsac or do anything, 9 days later there was the next stadium (still yellow, but almost a spider)
At the 20.V.05 spiderlings started to molt into a real spiders (with black pock on abdomen)

Finally there was almost 400 spiderlings, could be more, but few eggs was black, and there was some cannibalistic actions, and simply a few of them just died…

succsessful :clap:


It all started at 4:30 this afternoon. Removed coconut hide and water dish from females cage, To give the male some room to manuever. Also feed her a large cricket. Then left her to relax.
6:00pm, Introduced male, He ran to one corner,She to the other. After 5 mins removed male will try again later. increased room temp. to about 80 degrees.

8:00pm, Returned male to females cage. He started drumming. Female stretched legs out male approced and slid right in and hooked her. We have insertion.

8:03 pm, After a quick release (and a little help from a paint brush) the male is safely back in his home having a smoke and a scotch. While she sits and wonders will he call. {D

Successful mating resulted in 400?? spiderlings. ( A good guess )

2 females were mated with 3 males several times during Feb and Mar of 2005. Nothing special, females in 5 gal tanks, males introduced to females tank. #1 female molted in Feb of 2006. #2 female reintroduced one of the old males in Mar 2006. He had not made a sperm web in a while but thought it was worth a try? These males matured Nov and Dec of 2004. (as of today July 4, 2006 one is still alive) Did not witness any inserts but left him with female for a week ( she was in her burrow, he wandered around tank)

Egg sac was made about 1 month later on Apr 20 2006. Left sac with female untill day 33. During that time did not disturb tank. she moved egg sac between her two clay pots and flat rock that were all below the 5 inches of peat and vermiculite.

Opened egg sac on day 33. Eggs with legs. Maybe 15 bad eggs, also a few were stuck together. Some eggs with legs were dark so I seperated them.( Their legs were moving so I kept them in a different container) Put the rest in a hemmock in my incubater tank. Temp 80 to 85F, Humidity 80 to 90% With a small fan to keep air circulating. Filled egg sac with cotton and gave back to female, she snached it up and went back to guarding it. She rejected it on day 46 (4 days after 1st instar molt) and started feeding shortly after that.

1 st instar molt day 42. About 24 did not molt from eggs with legs. a few of the dark ones molted and were darker than the others. At this stage I placed them in a 5 inch petre dish lined with paper towl. They spread out over the whole dish. Kept dish in incubater same as before.

Day 68, slings becoming more active. I lowered the temp to 75 to 80F. They are clustering on one side of the dish.

Today day Day 74 begining to darken, some showing dark spots on abdomin. looking for them to begin molting any day now.

Successful!

Breeding took place on 06/25/06, 46 days after my female had molted. The temperature was 80 degrees with about 60% humidity. The female was very laid back, showing no aggression at all towards the male, and at least one really good insert was observed. I then removed the male, trying a second introduction after his next sperm web, but she wanted nothing to do with him so he was removed.

On 10/21/06, she made a web bowl-shaped structure between the substrate and the lid of her enclosure. On 10/23/06, she had her eggsac. The eggsac was pulled on 11/15/06 and opened on 11/20/06. We had eggs w/legs!

On 11/27/06 nymphs molted into 1st instar. The count is currently at:

1052 eggs laid
Only 45 eggs developed into slings
As of 12/10/06, slings are still 1st instar and are not yet showing signs of an impending molt.

I have successfully bred my pair of Brachypelma albopilosum "Honduran Curlyhair".

The mating was pretty straight foreward. I placed the male and females enclosure next to one another. The male picked up the female scent and prescence and started drumming. The mating went well and took minimal time with several insertions. I took the male out afterwards for future breeding attempts.

My first breeding! It went well! The breeding lasted about 12 minutes with one good insert at the end. Keeping my figers crossed!

This is breeding pair #1. Later tonight I will introduce breeding pair #2.

My smallest male (looks to be 5.5") and smallest female (4").

Large female mated late July (southern hemisphere winter)

Eggsac laid Oct. 11th.
Pulled eggsac early on Oct. 31'st, as the eggsac was mis-shapen.
counted about 600 eggs, of which 593 were bad... 7 made it to eggs-with-legs stage, 3 made it to 1st instar and are now doing well.

:wall: My largest female molted today and i dont have alot of hope for my smallest female to be gravid since I never saw an actual insertion. Going to breed my largest female again once she hardens up. :o
