Well, the dots ARE indeed wierd. But it's not particularly strange that they are not identical. We are all individuals, and so are they.

A good staple diet for feeders, whatever they are, is crucial. Dry cat or dogfood for base protein and oatmeal for carbs. This alone is sufficiant to build a large and healthy colony of feeders. To make it complete, just add scraps from your household, like apple, corn, carrot and other...

I'm guessing mandipants got an anaphylactic chock from the excellent pics Zoltan posted ;D

Exactly. Especially apophysis does this. They sometimes creates an entire mat to lie on, to discourage predators from taking her while vurnable.

Of course it's normal.

I....just don't tell people. I learned my lesson years ago.

My spiders do have that. All of patella, it's obvious if you take another look.

Why would it look like Stirmi to you?

I'm happy we amuse you!

This. Ever.

I stopped regging molts years ago. I just cease the chances for matings when I get them (hrrm..) and sometimes it's succesful and sometimes not. If the fem molts and the male is still productive it's all a go again. But thinking of it, I'm not even sure she molted between the two sacks of 2011...

We all should mate, the huge import of WC blondis are terrible.

No problem, we're all here to learn right? The problem with trial and error in this case is that "error" takes you back years in raising males and makes you cry yourself to sleep.... ;) So I'm happy to share.

Thanks The fem is no more than 3 years, probably more like 2-2½ or so. Not old, not fully grown. It was her second sack, first successfull. I waited 37-38 days, and that was not enough for all of them to turn nymph, if you have that goal. Temp was about 23 C in the room, but she was at floor...

It varies, but yes. The moisture you see in the pic is the drier part which ahs not been watered for well over a month. She actually migrated to it after me pouring in too much water in her chambered part. I suspect I kept her too moist last sack, but found a better balance this time. Next time...

Yeah, it was my third for 2011, and it seems three was the charm =)

Blondis man, we all want them.

Thanks guys. Well it was fairly sized. But there was alot of bad eggs too. Total was about 100 perhaps? Hard to tell and I'm not about to count them =)

At last, 49 little citters.

That's nice to hear Breeum. Then go for it. It's one of the best T's out there, hands down.
