Hello Invert fans

first off, it is great to see so many others suffering from arachnophilia like myself.

Finally found a source for some Amblypygi: look like wild caught Damon, the store swears they are medius, and I picked up the most active female, though she is missing both whips.

She is gravid, But the eggs look dry, dark, and dead. My question is whether dead eggs pose a threat to her health? Do females often die trying to drop their egg sac? I have read a lot about them eating the eggs after being dropped, but just checking whether people have heard of other issues.

Thanks so much

Ren

Agreed with D. medius. The female will drop them when she's ready.
