I have been breeding tarantulas since 1991 and other invertebrates since 1994. Below is an incomplete record of my work (not all of my breeding projects were documented especially the many different species that I produced at Glades Herp while employed there between 1996-2001.)
They are listed in alphabetical order of genus/species bred.
This record is highly useful in determining species breeding seasons/cycles.
As I go through my extensive records and notes, I'll add to this list. Enjoy!
