tarantula breeding

so i randomly found this video yesterday on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aCA_ClN3fw) and i was curious so i watched it and thought it was pretty neat. im assuming he caught his "ricky" (the t's name he given it) in the wild from that area. he goes out at night and mates ricky three times. looks like three successful attempts which raises some more curiosity.....would that actually work and fertilize all three females?

don't see why not, MM's often fertilize multiple females from one sperm web(as far as I know).

BTW awesome footage

pretty cool. i would have let him go if he was a WC T male native to the area but at least he got some lovin before he dies. :love:

same guy maybe? sounds about right XD.. i remember a guy here doing it around same time[link below]

edit: also from same location... WOW im scary good [maybe] i knew a aphonopelma wc named ricky who was taken around to fems and bred wasnt too common XD

In my experience, MM's typically make a new sperm web a day or tow after mating.
