OK is this a tarantula? also when was the last time she molted ? then when she has molted within the last three months she can be mated and then you will introduce the male in to her cage he will then start drumming and moving around the cage and he may very well then begin to approach her she also should start drumming there season depend on the bird spider i need a pic of the tarantula to know what bird spider you have and or the common name please and then i can let you know the months they are gravid

In nearly all spider species, especially in the tarantulas and other Mygalamorphs(a "bird spider" is another name for a type of large tarantula), mating is a very risky affair, especially for the male. If they aren't carefully introduced, or the female is not willing to mate, or she's just plain hungry, she could very well eat him and not mate at all, and it's not uncommon for her to eat him after mating. Both partners must be sexually mature, with the male having developed tibial hooks underneath his front pair of legs to hold the female's fangs out of the way while he mates. Male tarantulas will soon die after reaching maturity, anyway, whether or not they are placed with a female. Female tarantulas can live up to 30 years, and produce many eggsacs and offspring over a lifetime, unlike the females of most web-building true spiders(remember "Charlotte's Web?").
You can go to the forum below and ask specific questions about breeding, eggsac care and incubation, and how to care for the offspring that hatch, but I can tell you, it's NOT easy, and it can be very time and space-consuming, and spiderlings are not only escape artists, but are very delicate and can be difficult to keep alive.

I believe that with this spider as well as with other that the female will kill the male after the mating has ocured. Good luck I would seek the help of a proffessional.

nicely, i think of u can pass breed any species, u only ought to locate a gadget sufficiently small to %. up male intercourse cells and positioned it interior the female. And, whether u ought to try this, I doubt the toddlers could stay to tell the story in any respect._
