Theraphosa blondi breeding attempt
Here are some pictures of a recent attempt at breeding Theraphosa blondi . Both specimens are fairly recent imports. The female is mine and the male belongs to my sister, who is known as LCP here on the AB. She also took the pictures, which came out pretty good considering the dim light conditions the event took place in. The shot of the male's pediplap is especially impressive!
Both spiders are about the same body size, but the male has an incredible leg span. In a hunched position, it's 8-9" easy. I supect if his legs were fully extended he'd exceed ten or eleven.
