Hello everyone,
Thank you for your interest and comments on my blog. I know I don't post nearly as often I should, but life often inhibits my pursuits.
I have had quite a few requests for G pulchra spiderlings and juveniles. I do currently have 17 spiderlings that are about 1" leg span right now (Captive bred by Alfredo Inocencio, hatched 14Aug11). I may consider selling some of them after I am able to determine gender on each of them, which may take another molt or two.
I am still waiting on my three females to decide conditions are right for producing an egg sac. Sable(010) is looking particularly plump. I expect she will be the first to produce a sac. If I do get a successful sac soon, I will have spiderlings available after they reach 2nd insatr, hopefully before winter sets in.
