    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have searched for a thread such as this and did not find one. So I am starting one!

Come one come all... and post up any and all breeding tips or tricks.

not looking for "rules of thumb" or "general knowledge".

looking for something someone may have told you that you may not have known that did the trick and got your BP's to start breeding, improved your breeding schedules, clutch #'s, reduced slugging, improved sex drives... what ever it may be!
 
I don't know if this goes for everybody, but I've found that all my males ( even at 400-ish grams ) have high sex drives. Just like humans these poor little guys do all the work. I feel bad for the big guys circling, and nosing their tubs until it's time to be paired.
 
Pairing up before a storm I read can get snakes in the mood- I actually just tried this out. 2 of the three i paired p locked. I was getting no locks for a bit, and i paired them up the day of a snow storm... I think i read its the change in the baromatic pressure or something.
 
Feed the female prior to introducing male. I found that tip on a breeders site, and with doing so, my spider is locked up within the first night. It seems if the female doesn't eat prior to introducing them it takes a bit longer for him to "get going". Coincidence???
