Well, with any sucessful small  breeding program, it's best to start with eight adults. That's 2 males, and 6 females. I'm not familiar with adult sizes of Emps, but I think a 10 gallon is adequate for one's living. So, you now have a room with 8 10 gallon tanks, I love coconut fiber, because it holds great moisture, perfect for most arachnids. Each male gets 3 females to his Harem, and you can mix and match. For breeding, I'd place the female in the male's tank over night, let them get it on, then remove her back to her tank for a "birthing" suite.

     Rest in Peace Odin!!!  Your life may have not meant anything to those that abused you; but you meant everything to me.  You will be missed my little friend.
