B. albopilosum, Nicaraguan
@CyclingSam Well definitely reach out to me when you're in town. I should have more stock to sell by then, and I'll be sure to hold on to some albos. I'm about half an hour drive from Henderson (aka Hendertucky)
 
@Exoskeleton Invertebrates I was actually going to post pictures tonight. It's a dud sac, and I'm almost certain it's because she didn't roll it correctly. All of the eggs were clumped together in a dry mass on one side. A good 80% of the "sac" was nothing but empty webbing. I'm pretty disappointed in this one, I thought I had a winner this time.
 
@cold blood Well I've got one N. coloratovillosus that is 100% gravid, another that should be gravid but I'm not certain, a C. fimbriatus that should be dropping any day, and an M. balfouri that was just paired a week ago. So we'll see.

Remember that picture of the C. darlingi sac I sent you? The dry clump of eggs? That's what this looked like, other than the piss-poor sac construction. I originally thought that my C. darlingi was allowed to get too dry, but that's simply not a possibility with this B. albo. Substrate was never allowed to dry out, and she was kept in a room with a humidifier running 24/7 (my roach room).
 
@cold blood Oh he's still very much alive. I tried paring them just last night, actually. Let's just say I've got setae welts on my hand from separating them. Which leads me to believe she's gravid.
