[QUOTE="ilovebrachys, post: 187613, member: 28710"] My first response to your post would be don't send your females off - no one in their right mind would do this would do this as the risk envolved isn't worth it and all you will be doing is lining someone's pockets everyone wants females for a reason, it's out of your hands what happens to her and it could potentially be more than a year before you get her back (if at all) - send males off by all accounts to breed - it's important to do our bit for the hobby by doing this at every opportunity if you are not breeding with them yourself :) I'm response to your question about the spermathecae when it has darkened the female is of breeding age - I've never heard about the changes you have mentioned or weather this is at all possible as if a female will just moult out if she's not ready to drop a sac? I can't see why the spermathecae would change in anyway once she has reached maturity? [USER=27444]@Arachnoclown[/USER] and [USER=373]@plessey[/USER] [USER=1090]@Casey K.[/USER] Maybe able to answer this question better than I can :) [/QUOTE]
