I have heard some talk about cycling certain species to prep for breeding... This will apply to the species I'd like to work with (Brachy's and Aphonopelmas)... one source I saw mentioned to drop them down to the low 60's for a month or so... Is this cold enough...do people do this.... ??? Years ago someone mentioned the smae thing to me when discussing the breeding of B. smithi... I believe they talked about lowering the temps to the 50's and leave her down for 2-3 months....
This makes since and would probably mimic nature a little closer than a heated room.
What about putting breeding cage floursecent lights on timers... Maybe do an online search to find the light cycle of the native region.... maybe all this together would improve breeding success...
Any ideas, coments, advice, etc???
