With much thanks to David Richards (Knoxville Zoo) who sent me his monster male to mate with my female I can now get this project started! :D
Attached are photos, #1 is the female, #2 is the male. Enjoy and wish me luck!

That male is beautiful. That pairing would probably produce fantastic offspring.
Good luck!

Hey Sheri,
I purchased this female in 2000 from Spiderpatch.com, a little more than 5 years ago. She is around 8". I have a photo her her as a juvie around here somewhere, I will look for it.

Very Cool! Is it just my eyes playing tricks, or does that male have a violet sheen to it? Lots of Luck with the pairing! :D

Hey Maurice,
I noticed the violet sheen too, only until the photo came out. In natural light this sheen presents itself. Good looking guy!!

Some of these mature males can be quite striking IMO.

Here's a link to a photo of one of Martin Gamache's males.
