Avicularia diversipes
Successful
AF molted 20/8/12
Mature male received on 3/10/12 from Simon Brown.
I let him settle in and do a sperm web and introduced him the following week.I didn't notice any interest from the female so I left the male in for a week.He was also put in again for a two week period in December.
Temperatures were kept at around 75'F for the next month,then tank was put on top shelf at around 80'F and substrata wetted.
Eggsack layed on or just before 24/2/13
I left eggsack for 35 days and pulled it on 31/3/13
There were 51 N2,s which molted to spiderlings within a week.
I left these in incubator for another week then potted them up
10 of them died during molting.
Total = 41
