Acanthoscurria geniculata breeding...

12/06/2000 Recieved a breeding group of Acanthoscurria geniculata (various sizes and sexes) from Arachnocentric. These included a big male (6"+), a big female (slightly smaller than Kuni, 5"+), two males and an unsexed in the 2-3" range. The male will have to be slowed down so that Kuni and the new female can catch up in size before he matures.

01/02/2001 Small male (#2) molted.

01/15/2001 Unsexed geniculata molted.

01/22/2001 Small male (#3) molted.

03/23/2001 Kuni (female #1) molted.

04/01/2001 Big Edna (female #2) molted.

06/01/2001 Stanley (big male) molted into a mature male! He's huge, and will be bred with the two females as soon as he produces a sperm web.

07/25/2001 I've mated Stanley with both females over the past several weeks, and plan to do some more matings. Mating was fairly straightforward, though the male would have to make a whole bunch of approaches and attempts before he could succeed to lift the female up. The females did most of the drumming, and some stridulation was involved. I may post pictures if I get time.
