Holding and Breeding

E-mail Print PDF
I'll begin with my former "work", or rather, the former "Multimedia Room.

In this, about 10 sqm room stood my entire electronic communications and multimedia equipment. For some time we have the space to another, rather skurile kind of "work" transformed. Here is the home of my entire 8-legged friends in all sizes, shapes and colors.

Here I would like to emphasize that each individual animal is kept absolutely humanely and with the greatest respect, and of course the requisite "affection", deals! Furthermore, out of every single animal expiziet all important data, such as Molts, age, sex, possible injuries, etc., and hand-held electronic documents.



Temperatures and Humidity:

The space is held exclusively with high-quality lighting at a temperature during the day around 27.3 - 28.5 degrees at night to about 22.5 - 24.3 degrees Celsius. In winter, the room is also beitemperiert perfectly with our own underfloor heating. This temperature ensures almost every species of tarantulas optimal living conditions. The few animals in my possession, especially at night and prefer the winter months in the cooler temperatures that are different from me expiziet considered.

The humidity is determined by each of my terrarium's spray, or two days Aufzuchtbox realized. In addition, there are in each individual animal, the bowls are so important in his kingdom.



The substrate and planting:

After initial test phase with "Kokusraspeln" and "wood chips" I set myself the last analysis on the ground following reason: I mix in a ratio of 50/50, "the source of humus" with "Cocohumus. This has, in my opinion the advantage that all animals, regardless of whether Arboreal find, or very grave soil-species an ideal and flexible substrate.

We're quite aware that we could take potting soil or soil from the forest but for that we simply lack the time, we have no garden. In addition, the animals feel most visible. We have "NO" failures and have "regular" cocoons also difficult to breed animals. In our homes, we can do very well very well the "potting soil or soil from the garden Understand" Perfect for the animals but are we as breeders do not have the amount of time. Approx. Keeping 5000 animals is not comparable to 20 or 100 and we are both still Employed. Wave

When planting, I have decided to use artificial Pfanz. They may be more expensive to buy, without question, but instead they are just as, no doubt, much easier to keep and not as vulnerable as their true peers. About the appearance may be, frankly, to argue.

The diet:

My animals grub, depending on the type and size of fruit flies: Micro House crickets, Acheta medium, large crickets, grasshoppers, and large.



The breeding and rearing:



I'll begin, logically, with the mating.


Can only adult animals are bred? What are adult animals? How to identify adult animals? As you mated? What to consider when mating? Can you cross animals? Can you do "inbred"? How many kittens come out of it? etc. etc. etc..


As you can see, many questions.

Only the main question is actually:

Let's do, or we at least try to do everything right??


Before mating, you should be aware of basic things in mind and have set themselves apart, of course, in the run with the matter "mating of Vogelpinnen" and be aware of all the consequences!

Pairing, are generally only able to have children or adult males and females.


An adult male (buck) can be recognized that, under the so-called "maturity molt" in professional circles as "RH" referred to are from the front buttons, "bulbs". After he builds the RH usually a so-called "sperm web", as he makes his sperm and then it starts with the bulbs and the network then zerstört.Wenn is then a certain kind of "drums" to carry out his terrarium, you can assume that he fully mature and / or is willing.

Adult females should be granted after the last moult, the usual waiting period of 6-8 weeks. The latest, then you should start to feed extensively. Can we observe a significantly thicker abdomen, it is assumed that the female is sick or well in the food, which is very important for the upcoming mating. Furthermore, should the final molt of the female's mating of an impending no longer than 8 months time ago!

If everything is given, there is a real Verpaarungsakt.
Here you can see Bock unserern Brachypelma vagans mating in: Search http://www.myvideo.de (described in "mating type"), the direct link does not work.

If one can observe a clearly visible and audible "Drums" and "trembling" of the animals, we sat down, armed with a Plastikstab, a water syringe and a lot of COURAGE next to it and persevere to the things that happen to be.
Now I remove the blade and wait for the "meeting".
This will be observed that the buck introduces his bulbs in the side pockets of the lady.



Attention!

After mating, you should make sure that the woman is not too much to the man "ties" in the form of a real hunt, which is observed in some species. Therefore, a Plastikstab, a water syringe and a lot of COURAGE, because we must go even sometimes with his bare hands in between to save the man.

For species, e.g. Avicularia, Gr. aureostriata and I can tell Poecilotherien a peaceful parting.

In other species, such as for example Ac. geniculata, Br smithi and Gr. rosea is not a joke, but if your life is worth the buck.

The mating of animals of the same genus but different species is quite possible. Not pure breed, so-called "hybrid", but they are by the greatest part of the VS-lovers do not like to put and / or even verschmäht.Meines knowledge, it can even lead to infertility, birth defects or even death of the animals.


The "inbred" in the first generation of tarantulas is, to my knowledge, generally möglich.Jedoch it is certainly never wrong, "blutsfremde" animals together verpaaren.Über og Symptoms is me with "inbreeding" of the 1st Generation not known.


The number of eggs varies from animal to animal. Thus, for large Las. parahybana aware that they can have up to 1,500 eggs. Smaller and / or other types are there far more modest.
