Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaragua" Mated & Ready To Drop Them Eggs

[Exoskeleton Invertebrates]

Third Egg Sac:

This is my third egg sac Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaragua". It has been 21 days since the female produced the egg sac. Everything is good with the exception of a couple of eggs that either went bad or undeveloped.

These egg sacs aren't as big as I thought it would be. The bigger sac that had the most slings has 444 baby slings. The other two egg sacs number has around 300 to 350 baby spiderlings. Either way between all three egg sacs there is at least 1000 spiderlings. So I'm glad I mated more than one female.

Hello! I finally opened the fourth egg sac, every single egg was good with the exception of two bad eggs and two undeveloped eggs were bad. Not bad!

This egg sac was the biggest out of the four egg sacs that I opened. Don't know how many babies but I'm thinking over 600 on this egg sac, which brings the total way over 1600 babies between my babies and the other egg sac that my friend Travis Jenkins has at his place.

I'm totally happy with this accomplishment that my wild caught females produced healthy egg sacs.

These Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaraguan" captive born babies will help clean up the muddled up Brachypelma albopilosum "Honduran" that have been hybridized for many years.

These captive born babies are the real deal, a fresh start in the US hobby for all you arachnid lovers.

Some of the babies that are in a bundled and cuddling will be ready soon for future owners.

For those of you who have known me for many centuries this is what I've been doing after I retired from High School . Tarantulas has been my main hobby for many years.......I have to thank Christian Hanney whom introduced to his tarantula that made me want to get my own.

That's really cool. I already have one with pinkish setae, but I'd like one of the ones with white setae too. They just look so fluffy! If you are selling them down the line, let me know.

I just found this thread today and it is AMAZING! It's like a Netflix binge but in the form of tarantulas! This sp is definitely now on my list. Amazing egg sacs, and I love the look of the MF! Congrats!!

[mconnachan]

Superb result, and great for the hobby in general, loving the MF, white setae look fantastic, congrats @Exoskeleton Invertebrates

To everyone thank you kindly! I appreciate the thumbs up, this has been a nice little project for me and the results from wild caught parents in captivity has been accomplished.

I might as well post a really nice photo of a female of this species, maybe this will help some of you change your mind about getting one from whom ever that may be you be acquiring some of my babies from.

The Dark Knights:

The first two egg sacs of the Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaragua" some already 2nd instar and the rest just chilling a bit.

 

[nicodimus22]

Great job with them! You're doing the hobby a real service by making more of the Nicaraguan form.

Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaragua" - Egg Sac #6

This is my last egg sac of the year of this species. I don't know how many days it has been since she produced the sac I never paid closed attention. I opened it 30 minutes ago and they've developed into 1st instar inside the sac. I suppose they'll developed into 2nd instar within a month from now.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Lots of babies all the egg sacs that my ladies produced were perfectly good sacs. The mature male I had died a happy spidey. Good job spidey! RIP.

I had fun posting this thread. I never did breed the Honduran species so breeding the Nicaraguan was great fun and to have great success with a total of 6 egg sacs in one year.
