Beings you are the *King* of Spiders maybe you can best answer this question.
What is the smallest (weight) male Spider you have ever had breed?
The one I got at the Tinley auction was 330 grams before tonight's feeding & I'm hoping to get him to size to breed at least one this year.

If I'm not mistaken, Steve Gooch bred his 290g male and produced spiders just this past season. I'd say your male might be a bit overweight.

Sounds promising......

Thanks!

**Take your time and breed him next year. It's kind of cutting it close this season and in order to have him at an adequate weight you might have to power feed him which may make him lazy!**

I'd be happy if he would breed 1-2 this year, the rest of my girls are reserved for my Clown.

I know that weight has a lot to do with it but I also think that they need a certain amount of time for there sexual organs to muter . What do ya’ll think. David
