1. I'm planning to breed my avicularia versicolor. I already have 2 female, 9 cm, with no male yet. I heard the female should be 4.25 inch to start the breeding, is that true?
2. How long a female can live in captivity? I already have my female for about 2.5 to 3 years. I bought it at the end of 2009 and midyear 2010. and yes, I bought them since they are slings.
3. I heard a male can mature in 1 year, is that with or without power feeding? If a male is mature in 1 year, I probably will go buy several unsex slings. so when they mature a year later, the female should be ready.
4. If a male has already mature, given food once a week condition, how much time he has before he's gone/unproductive? 1 year? 2 year? or not even close to 1 year but months?
5. most importantly, How the mother cage set up should be fore mating and producing egg? Is the mother will go burrowing? Because I read something strange in another forum, an avic burrowing? Is that really happen? or I should just give her a large tank 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm should be fine with standard arboreal set up and cover up the tank with cloth to make it dark? a picture is apreciated.
6. is that true if a female is close with the male she's more eager to mature?
This is my first attempt of breeding and I'm at low budget so I musn't fail... i want slings of my own T so much.
