Thank You! I actually read through that whole thread yesterday. His pictures are amazing. Unfortunately I don't have a good enough camera to see much detail and I don't have a very trained eye yet to know if the eggs are fertilized. This is only my second sac and the first was a complete failure. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get at least a couple to hatch. I took a better picture today I think and I feel like I can see a leg in one of them....or I want to see it so bad that my brain is making me think it is there lol.I think at least some of them may be fertile. Fertile eggs should have a visible white spot at a certain stage. Maybe look at the pics in this thread http://arachnoboards.com/threads/tarantula-egg-question.131341/
Most breeders I've seen pull the egg sack at 25 to 30 days and let them finish up in an incubator. This keeps them from having to dig tiny slings out of the enclosure. Also small slings can get out the vents in larger enclosures.Why did you pull the sack? Was she ignoring it?
Those eggs look like they could be fertile. Hopefully all ends well and you get some slings.
What type incubator are you using? Babboons supposedly make good mothers. I would habe just left her to them
Aside from my own excitement and impatience I pulled it because most of what I had read said it was better to do so in case there were bad eggs that way you could pull them without letting them contaminate the rest. You can see in the first pictures I posted almost half the sac was bad and beginning to mold. As for my incubator setup I'm sure it's far from the best. I'm using a Ziploc tub with spagnum moss on the bottom. The eggs are sitting on an organdy hammoc that's attached to a deli cup that's filled partially with water.Why did you pull the sack? Was she ignoring it?
