We have 2 keyserlingii. The female is very gentle and you can easily take her for putting her in another cage. The male is very easily scared and for him, we use a cup or something else to take him to another cage. We have them all the time together. Can you tell me how you guys do it to let them mate?

Hi Tania,

I guess we can do this in Dutch, but hey, it's an American forum.

I've bred this species for quite some years. There is not really that much to it. I've noticed that not every pair is compatible. But it sounds your pair is. The main thing, in my experience, is to give them a good cooling period. Do not be affraid to really cool them down. For about 2-3 months, depending on the wheater, I cooled them to about 16-14 degrees Celsius during the day and 14-8 degrees Celsius at night (sometimes even cooler). When the days got longer I gradually put on the lights and heat. I know some breeders have bred them without a cooling period, but a hibernation always worked for my animals (my old couple is still alive and breeding in the care of a friend of mine).

Further more, make sure that get lot's of calcium. They really need that, but I think that's a given. Good luck with this fantastisc species, I sure do miss them.
