Incubation period lasted on average of 17.0 days at 28 ± 2ºC and 60-70% R.H. There were 5 spiderling instars before reaching adult male and 6 instars before reaching adult female. The total period of spiderlings was shorter for male (57.3 days) than female (88.5 days). Adult longevity and life span were shorter for male than for the female.
