Leave breeding to those who know what they are doing and who are doing it for the right reasons, and concentrate on learning as much as you can and getting the little buggers to eat their dinner !!!

After speaking to all the major breeders and having a go at breeding myself for the past three years

I can tell you this... either your lucky or your not

The more you breed the luckier you get :lol:

I have seen people in the hobby for not even six months and they get 2 or 3 egg sacs

I take my hats off to them... and start swearing wishing I had that luck :silly:

Anybody can breed a spider not only the experts or people that has been doing it for 15 years

Its always better to obtain the knowledge before you start breeding, it will save you a lot of money, time and heartache

All I can say is... if your not doing it for the love of your spiders, you won't be doing it for long :whistle: :pinch:

My first 3 sacks, vagans, G. rosea RCF and G. rosea NCF, were beyond successful, personally I thought breeding is piss easy, what's everyone complaining about, until I tried to breed again. I'v had sacks eaten, I've had females drop eggs on a slope so the eggs just ran down, I've had females molt out. So ye more heart break than anything for me

I don't care what any breeder says, knowledge is obviously needed, but there is a large slice of luck needed for breeding tarantulas.

@shane, My mate has 2 males that should mature this year. Patience grass hopper.

Will he sell one of those males to me?

It doesn't say that if you are a newbie in this forum that you are not an expert keeper/breeder in the real world. To be a newbie in this forum just means that you don't have that much to say when you are online
