Effective Breeding of Brachypelma Smithi

[Talkenlate04]

Hey Ryan thanks for the info i am in the cooling stage with my breeding project and with your advies i would be able to hopefully get a sac

omar

Awesome! You cooling down a Smithi? I have 3 going into cool down myself. They should be wrapped up with that around mid Feb, and I might be getting sacs around late March early April. One Boehmei as well.

Ryan, Thank You again. What a great learning experience. We need more of these Baumgarteni babys.

Smok.

For me this has worked with Emilia, Smithi, Auratum, and Boehmei. Total sacs...... around 20. I'd have to dig through my records to find out for sure.

WOW nice one! how many spiderlings were there in the sacs? any pics to go with it? sure i did a search and could only find your Brachypelma smithi and Brachypelma albopilosum breedings. i looked back to untill this post >>><<< did i miss the posts on the other Brachy sacs?

B. annitha does not need a cooldown? how do you know, i can find very little breeding info on these!

many thanks in advance

If there are any questions I am more then willing to field them.

Ok...question for you, Ryan. :}

How in the world do you manage to work and remember all this other stuff in the process? I work 50 hours a week and barely have time to even pair them up!

I printed your 'care sheet' out though and I'm going to use it and see what I can get. Thanks!

There was 1237 in one and 901 in the other for the Smithi sacs this year. I had a third one but the female ate the sac. :wall: I have not posted much in the breeding report section. And most of my sacs I have produced were before I ever knew of the boards. But now that I know the boards are here I will post more when I do get sacs. I have three bred female Smithi now so Maybe Ill add their results if there are any to the breeding forum.

Most of it was just note taking. I am really bad with keeping formal logs of what I am doing, but my notes along the way give me a pretty good timeline of what has happened. Plus some of it I just retain I guess.

That comment struck me as a bit odd, as well. The lack of breeding information is what is keeping me from getting a few individuals of this species.

I'd think that anyone who had bred them would be jumping to post it in the breeding reports.

I know people that have produced other brachy’s with no cool down and they are ones that I do cool down. Everyone has their methods, this is mine. Like I stated in my write up,

Everything I write below is based off my experience. The methods used below are what I have found to work

You want to breed something and not cool it down, go for it. Like I also said take everything I am say at face value. It's just what I do.

any pics to go with it?

There are pics of them in this thread. And if you use the search function, you will find things like this,

Complete with pics and everything, And since I know you will ask, in the first sac where the count from Novak was 1126 there were eggs still stuck to the inside of the sac that went uncounted from that sac only, some of those turned black and did not make it. The second sac was emptied without issue.

i just want to know if a t can only produce 1 sac each molt

Not a brachy i imagine. However, i have read of many accounts of P. murinus making multiple viable sacs in between molts.

Oh those pics and those write ups. Those are in the same place as your Brachypelma baumgarteni write up. It's all in the breeding reports forum.


Just because it's not on here or in some report, does not mean it did not happen. But I am done falling for the "prove yourself bait" I have nothing to prove to you.

 

[vvx]

Everytime I open this thread I can't help but to wonder in that pic what do the red circles signify versus the yellow ones?

 

[Talkenlate04]

I was keeping track of the two sac clutches. There were three tubs and I had numbers on the undersides of the deli containers, but in pics I had to circle them.

seeing that you post everytime a spider farts, yet nothing on these rare (even in Europe) breedings, i can't help but call you a liar. and you are correct, you have noting to prove to me anymore.

have a nice day

So I go to check on Ryan's claim that he bred Brachypelma annitha and this is what I find.

Two posts in this thread, another where he mentions it in passing and a third that says he traded one off two years ago.

No breeding report. No pictures.

No crap Sherlock, I was not on the board. Good investigative work though I am proud of you.

I never had anything to prove to you. Never will.

Out of curiosity, have you posted all of your breeding reports, complete with dates and pictures, on this board?

And even if he is lying, why do you or metallica care?

He seems to be pretty damn successful at what he does. Let it go. Bashing Ryan for no reason wasn't the point of this thread in the first place.

as a big Brachypelma fan myself i know it takes more then luck to breed the "redleg" species. so if someone breeds those species succesfull they have my deepest respect..... however if they claim they bred them succesfully but clearly didn't then hunting season is open! a big part of this hobby is based on trust. self proclaimed Brachy experts can do a lot of damage.

Ask me anything about Brachys

Oh man you just made me realize..... Your right! I don't know anything. My sincerest apologies to you sir. I want to thank you for pointing that out to me. I shale now go read all your breeding reports to obtain some proper information about the brachypelma genus. Guess I'll catch you later, I have lots of reading to do!
