How to Breed Pet Chaco Tarantula

Video Transcript

Now breeding your tarantula can be a tricky process cause if you're not careful and the female is not in the mood, she could potentially kill the male. So you always want to be present during this time. Now to know your tarantulas are breakable, the female will most likely be most fertile right after she sheds her skin, so after she has a shed. So after the female sheds, wait a couple weeks for the exo scale to harden up. Then you can introduce a full grown male tarantula of the same species. Now you always want to take the male and put the male in the female's enclosure. Put them face to face. Now once you place the male in with the female like I said before stay with them because if the female is not in the mood, she could potentially kill your male spider but if he is in the mood if your male spider decides to mate, what he'll start doing is he'll start using his petapalps and drumming the ground and kind of arm waving it's signaling to her that he is willing to mate and if she accepts it she'll raise her body up off the ground. The male will use those special hooks on his front legs to put them underneath her fangs to keep the fangs out at a safe distance, to keep the fangs from coming down on him actually. Then he'll use the petapalps, those two little tiny legs near it's fangs to insert the sperm into the opening located at the base of the females' sephala thorax.
