I just separate the eggs with leggs and eggs in the incubator.
Now i can see of they wil develop in a few days.

Offcourse it is possible that not all of the eggs were fertilized.
But i thought i have seen them develop inside the eggs. As you can see on my photo. But this is my fist sack ever so i may be wrong.

For now i have 127 eggs with leggs that i hope they will be come slings soon.
I hope the eggs are still develop in the next few days.

I'll keep you guys updated! :razz:

Thank you very much Rob!
This helps alot!

I'll try to make some pictures tonight and post them in this thread.
But i'm sure now my spiders are in 1st instar now.
It took about a week to get from eggs with leggs to 1st instar.
I thought that's normal, right?

How long will it takes to get to 2nd instar ?
In my incubator it is 81 degrees and +- 90% humidity.
At night the tenp drops till about 73 degrees

That sounds about right....here's my time line:

(80-82 degrees - 90% humidity)

Eggs laid on 1/10/09
Born 1/27/08 (emerged from eggs).
Started emerging into eggs w/ legs on 01/27/09 - 01/28/09 - never fully emerged.
Started molting into 1st instars on 01/30/09 - 01/31/09
Started turning black on 2/19/09.
Starting molting into 2nd instars on 02/22/09
Molted into 3rd instars on 4/2/09
Molted into 4th instars on 5/2/09
