Adult tarantula seeking a mate
Mature male Aphonopelma seemanni tarantula seeking hot spider date near him (Denver) I know this is a long shot, but figured I'd give it a try! Background: My beloved boy Asmodeus has reached adulthood. For those of you unfamiliar with tarantula biology, this means he will essentially stop eating/drinking & will devote all his energy to finding a lady tarantula to mate with. He will die in ~6-12 months. It's breaking my heart to watch him cease all his normal behavior, looking for love in a terrarium that definitely doesn't have any sexy single lady spiders for him to woo. About Asmodeus: His friends call him “Asmo” & he’s a Capricorn (I adopted him Jan 5th 2023). He loves piña coladas (crickets), long walks on the beach (hiding in his burrow) & being mysterious (also hiding in his burrow). I estimate him to be ~5-6 years old & he has a ~5.5 inch leg span. The Ask: I’m looking for someone with an adult female A. seemanni interested in taking or borrowing Asmo for breeding purposes so he doesn't have to die a virgin. I'm willing to drive a few hours to make it happen, but I don't feel comfortable shipping him, unfortunately. I am also aware of the inherent risks involved with breeding tarantulas. Serious inquiries or advice only, Asmo doesn’t deserve to get strung along or ghosted 🤝
A Reddit post shows several photos of a mature male Aphonopelma seemanni tarantula named Asmodeus, whose owner is seeking an adult female tarantula for breeding. The post humorously presents the spider as a lonely bachelor looking for a “hot spider date,” using human dating language such as being ghosted and dying a virgin. It is shared as an absurd reaction to desperate dating or matchmaking situations.
