Spider Romance

[Johan van Vuuren]

Everybody has got an eye apple, mine in my B. Vagans, my first "exotic" T, and they never stop to amuse. My MM started courting the one in the enclosure next to his, now this is where it gets strange, tonight he took a gift over, a piece of moss. I'm not sure of the sex of the other spider, it apears to be female and the MM keeps going back for more of nothing. It has completely closed itself in now, not even a peeping hole.

Hi Johan, I can see you're enjoying observing your new T's. I take it that it's not the MM that's webbed itself into it's hide, if that's the case, could your female be going into pre-moult.

[Johan van Vuuren]

I do hope it is in pre-moult, I need to confirm its sex. I'm used to african species, they are also interesting to watch when they are around and about. All three B. Vagans are always out and about with the exeption of it. Never breed them before, hopefully I will manage.

Hi Johan, hope it's a female then, and if you do mate them, keep us all informed on the progress of them, as they're nice T's. If you do get any problems or need advice regarding breeding them, there's usually plenty of help on the forum.
