Hello,
I'm planning on breeding this species in the future. I know they are really hard to produce a sac and need a cooling period but I'll try. I've read that it is better to have several females because the possibility of having a sac with only one is pretty small. I know they are slow growers and have read many threads on this topic. I have a 13cm (5 1/8'') female which I was lucky to get from a pet store at a ridiculously low price. I bought her in the summer. She was 10cm (4'') back then and she molted in September. I almost hadn't fed her (she refused to eat most of the time) until a month ago when she started eating small roaches. In the past three days she's eaten 3 large dubia roaches and has gotten pretty heavy so I probably won't feed her in the upcoming month or two. So, knowing they get to about 8'', when do you think mine will be ready to breed? I'm also probably going to buy a juvenile suspect female which I want to breed along with the larger female but I'll talk to the guy who's selling it tonight for more info and then I'll decide. I don't know the age of my female but I don't think she's very old. Maybe 2- 3 years (depends on how the previous owner was feeding her).
