I bought my Chilean rose Layla eight days ago.
Buying her wasn't a spontaneous decision, I'd read up extensively on her species and care long before I decided to buy her.
And she's been really awesome, and loves to come out of her cage, and never shows aggression and isn't skittish in the slightest.
Friday, I thought she was using the cave I bought her to make a burrow when she started digging the substrate out, and thought it was awesome.
But then she started laying a thick web everywhere, which was odd to me.
And even stranger, she holed herself up inside. I thought maybe she was going to molt, and let her be.
Saturday morning,iIt was hard to see inside the open wall of the cave that's against the glass because there was so much web, but she was sitting in the center of it for a long time. She then balled it all up, drug it around, and was sitting on it. Quite obviously, an egg sac.
I've been reading up on it nonstop, and I'm still confused.
How many days does it take to hatch? I know some ppl pull them around 25-30 days an incubate them, which I've looked extensively into, and I've got everything needed for it. But how many days total is it from the time they lay the eggs to the time they hatch?
And what is the best way to go about this?
Because I don't want them running around in her tank, and I don't want to keep them. I have no idea what to do with them, and it's a little overwhelming!
