Sorry for my englisch, I'm from the netherlands :8o

anyone ?

How old are they?

 

[Diablo1984]

I think 21 days or so..

The are on 77.0 with 90-95 % humidity

 

[KJE]

I would just hang onto them until something happens, they aren't very old yet.

 

[Diablo1984]

Thank you!

Maybe it take a bit longer. Because at night the temp drops till 70 degrees.
this is my first sack, so i'm a little worried something goes wrong.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I can see legs in those eggs and they are pretty easy to see actually. You should have little ones soon.

 

[Diablo1984]

Thank you very much!

I quess you're right! Because tonight they are start popping out.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Congrats! :clap:
Don't be alarmed that they don't really move, they will become more mobile after the next molt in about a week or so.

that is too cool!! How do they make their sacks? What is it mainly made of? That is definately my next goal and I'm looking forward to more pics

 

[KJE]

Congratulations!

 

[Autumnvicky]

Congrats! Good luck with them, looks like they'll be keeping you busy for a while.


What do you feed them when they're that small?! Pinhead crickets? Wingless Fruit Flies?

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

You don't feed them anything at this point. Everything they need is stored inside. In a couple more molts they will be able to feed.

 

[Diablo1984]

Thanks for the reply's everyone!

Yeah i think they keep my busy for a while also.

This morning i took this picture.

Hello,

Is it normal that the piece of molt are still on the larva ?

Thanx,

(bit worried again) :8o

Hello,

(bit worried again) :8o

Yes normal, leave it alone they will be fine. The molt tends to bunch up at the end of the abdomen but will fall off when they molt again sometimes before that.

 

[Diablo1984]

Thanks again talkinglate.

There are still some eggs that dont have legs yet.
Is that also normal ? it is now 3 or 4 days since the first one popt out.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Sounds like not all of your eggs are going to develop. It happens from time to time. In a few more days you might want to get those that don't pop out out of the setup. If you leave them there they can attract flies and all sorts of other goodies you don't want near the others.

 

[Diablo1984]

Oh that sucks.
Is there a reason that they dont develop ?
Maybe not moist enough ? or to much or to less ventilation ?
I hope they just develop in a few days. fingers crost.

Perhaps not all of the eggs were fertilized.
