Phlogius sp eunice

Same girl from my last post!

Gravid mumma.

It’s still cold in Melbourne and without heating, I’m not expecting her to lay a sac anytime soon.
Dont worry lol, the sac will come. My Rubiseta took so long to lay that my mum became more impatient than myself! Also a tip in advance, pull the sac after 45-50 days instead of 30. At 30, Phlogius are still all eggs
 
@RezonantVoid No way your mum got more impatient:lol: That’s adorable! Gotcha! I couple of people suggested 30ish but some of the more experienced keepers in the community told me that it’s safer towards the 40-50 days range as well. Fingers crossed!

I got some excellent advice from the folks on here, but i think 30 days seems to be better for overseas T's. All the Aussie keepers reckon 40-50 is better and i think mine began turning into EWLs at almost exactly 50 days. Only 60 of the original 223 successfully made it to third instar and i cant help but wonder if my pulling and opening the sac at 30 days somehow contributed to that
 
@RezonantVoid I’m wondering why there’s a discrepancy between when to pull the sac for our species vs exotics... Holy hell. 223?! Is that considered about the average amount of eggs laid?

Thats about right for an OW. Some NW's have like 800+, but most Aussie natives i reckon have around 200. And yea, i just think the confliction comes from ours being compared to exotics and so forth
 
@cold blood do you have any photos of some of your larger sac yields? Ive definitely seen a few people post pics with insane quantities of slings approaching the 800's

Some species can have sac sizes as large as 2k.
