Are they in a coffee filter? Could you post pics of how exactly you are caring for the eggs? With information such as lighting and temp? Thanks! :D

Oh wow great! Thanks! Just a few questions though...

Do you change out the paper towels and re-moisten them periodically?

Are the paper towels under the deli cups submerged in water or moistened then placed inside?

Thanks!

I have a lot of water at the bottom. Not so much that the deli cups slide around, but enough to where I don't have to add water every day. I just keep an eye out on it. It's a very setup to keep. Two times a day I pick up each container and rotate the eggs with a gentle circular motion.
I like this method over the hammock method because all the eggs lay flat and rotate evenly with no effort.

Wow!

Thats amazing! So much creativity and instinct built into a creature smaller than a loaf of bread. Good luck and I hope that both mom and slings do fine. Are we going to see a thread full of more pictures? :D

More pictures will come of course! They should be eggs with legs very, very soon, tonight or tomorrow.

She is doing ok. She is eating a lot. She is sad though and searching for her sac a lot.

Aww, what a good mom she is. Better mate her again so that she has another one to tend to! {D
Actually I was curious, is there a certain amount of time that must pass between sac-laying and the next mating? Or, are they pretty much ready to go again right away?

That close-up of the eggs with the legs forming inside actually made me go "Awww!" out loud :D
