These females were bred from Jan 1st-Jan 19th.

Female 1

Female 2

Female 3

Female 2 and 3 were bred first. Four days ago female 1 and 3 were found wondering around the enclosure. They walked around for 3-4 days. I rehoused both yesterday, and kept female 2 in the same enclosure. Time will tell, but keeping my fingers crossed. Please do the same

Goodluck. Your girls look super gravid, but we know that doesn't mean crap. There's soooooo many issues with producing sacs.

I have six girls had seven, but the seventh is having seizures and the shakes. I'm very worried about her. I'm trying to save her.

Oh no man! What are you doing to try to revive her?

Also, I completely agree with so many variables that can cause a gravid girl to go wrong. My Avicularia "peru purple" that dropped a sac a month ago for example, when day 30 came, I pulled it, full of mites.

couldn't save a single one. I was more than pissed.

With there being so many variables that cab go wrong I'm even surprise we can produce good sacs. Aww man tru Peru purle. I haven't seen those in ages!

What we use to call DKS sysdrom is what she has. I'm guessing it's a chemical issue. The guy I got her from was going to kill her. And I want to try to fight this and document the whole procedure.

Ah that's horrible? Wanted to kill her? How sad man. Best of luck with her, keep me updated.

He's had "DKS" before and it spread. He just didn't want her to spread it to the rest of his collection. I think it's some sort of chemical. And i tried to tell him it doesn't spread. This is the third case in two years for him. I've actually never had it before. It seems to be a nerlogical disorder. I bet it enters their body by digestion or something they're breathing in.

My 'dks' case was due to frontline flea/tick preventative on my hands that I then used to handle a Rosie. There's usually a smoking gun somewhere, but since she now belongs to you then you may never know for sure the cause. Best of luck to you, it's extremely hard to watch, I know. I euthanized her after a month or so of the horrible shakes...for mercy, not out of fear of spreading. 'Live' and learn....I wear gloves at all times now when working with my collection.
And good luck on your sacs! Gbb males often pay the ultimate price for love- those ladies really hate giving it up.

DKS might not even exist though.

I did a while back through photobucket, but for some reason, it would never work on here. I have vidoes of this species breeding as well, but cant find how to post them here.
I'd like to make this thread into the whole breeding discussion on my GBB's, but that would have to include videos too, IMO.

fuzzyavics72 · Mar 3, 2015

Me too. I have enough girls a day finally bought three mature males, so now I'm ready. My best friend's gbb ate a hissers and a mm within three hours. She's a beast!

I bought the gbb before we knew it had issues so I got this gentle beast instead! My brother held her for twenty minutes. I feel bad though because this was my buddy's first offspring of B smithi.

LOL, they can be vicious for sure. Female #1 is huge, close to 7". She, all together, has eaten 5 or 6 males.

fuzzyavics72 · Mar 3, 2015

That a girl! You should be proud of her lol. Even if I get a sac out if the six I would be happy.

Austin do you have anymore sp. Tarapoto?

Austin S. · Mar 3, 2015

Haha, not proud, shes been bad. I'm hoping one out of the 3 will. Female #4 still wants nothing to do with my male.

Sadly, that tarapoto was my only one.
