I bought a breeding pair of c.pentalore from the Spidershop at the B.T.S show,
this was going to be my first serious breeding attempt, I had tried pairing my g.roseas, that is another story lol

I was all prepared the male started drumming, and the female turned her back on him,
but he wasnt going to be put off,
he was a complete gent and very slowly moved in, touching and drumming all the way,
the process took just over an hour and there was some good insertions,

he was returned to his tank and fed, his work there was done,
the next few weeks the female started rebuilding her tank, in a serious way!!

before I knew it there is was she was sitting on a sac, she was excellent with it only coming out for a drink,
and not leaving her sac for more than five minutes at any one time,

after about 5 weeks we have pulled the sac, and incubated it, we have approx 100-150 EWL

I only have a couple of photos, but I am documenting this project in full,
they are a beautiful spider, identical to the c.fasciatum but much smaller, a truly beautiful Tarantula

I do still have the male, and yes of course I could send him out, he is still sperm webbing,
so plenty of action left in him Smile

PM me and we can get him on his way to you when your female is ready for him
