[Ceratogyrus]

Importing tarantulas into SA is illegal without a permit and considering no permits have ever been issued, best to just look for captive bred spiders here. Most species of pokie have been bred in SA

Is that ball or hammock sac?

 

[catfishrod69]

They are hammock sacs. It just looks that way because i pulled it out of her tunnel. These two sacs were laid recently, and i pulled them and placed them in the incubator. Dont want the females getting hungry on them.

I'd be too afraid of taking out a hammock sac and doing some damage. I'd rather take the female out of the cage temporarily and leave the sac in place, especially with a high ticket species like that.

 

[catfishrod69]

Its really not too bad. They mostly attach it with 2 support webbings from the sides. Just grab hold of one side of the webbing with tweezers, and it pulls loose easily. Then get hol d of the other side and repeat. I much prefer hammock sacs to regular sacs. Because they seem to have a greater success rate, less chances of getting eaten, hatch quicker, and are just alot easier to deal with.
