Why isn't it? Get some nylon, a container, water and a well ventilated top and presto that's how CB spiders have been brought to the hobby for the past 20-30 years. I'm sure when M.bafouri was still being first bred in the hobby people incubated the eggs just like any other species. I'm thinking that if they haven't emerge yet the they are probably dead, the only way you can know for sure is if you get the sack and open it up to see if there are any survivors.
If you read the breeding reports on this and other forums and talk to those who have successfully bred this species, the most successful sacs were those that were left with the female. Mother raised sacs have been consistently and significantly more successful than artificially incubated ones.
More successful and necessary are two completely different concepts, though.
Where are you getting this? The mother is not regurgitating food for them, they just take bites from her kill. You can just as easily give them cricket parts to keep them happy. Slings do not need any care from the mother once they get to the EWL stage that you can't give them, the most vital part the mother plays is laying the eggs and caring for the sack until they hit that stage. These are spiders, not kittens, they don't need their mother once they have their first molt.
Actually she does.......go read the reports and look at the photos.
I really want a few of those lol!!! I want the m. Balfouri probably the most right now, they are incredibly beautiful!
She is indeed, spectacular...great, now I want one. Best of luck with the youngin's.
