Beautiful spiders Austin, congrats on the successful sacks!
If your going to sell the Avicularia sp. "Ecuador" slings please let me know when they are ready.

Steve, I messaged you (or started conversation) in regards to the sp. "Ecuadors". Did you get it? I'm wondering if you have to do something first, before being able to start convo's with members.

Avicularia versicolor
This is the set up I use to get my Avic's to drop a sac:

Bad lighting, didn't want to disturb her

This marks the 5th sac in one month for me. Nothing special, but I'm proud of it

Gravid P. metallica was out in about after a rehouse. I decided to candle her. Afterwards, I fed her. Video of her eating, and here is the candling video. Look at them eggs glow!

Exactly... Not looking forward to that day. They will stay with mama for a while though. I don't see me getting them out for another few months.

Great pics, and I enjoy seeing all the slings you produced. The candling pic was fantastic, I enjoyed seeing that. Well done contributing back with all these slings. I look forward to sending you MM's in the future.

Thanks bro. Really trying to spread everything around for cheap.
Still waiting on that Poecilotheria metallica to drop. She was mated in late July 2015, and molted in June... so I'm praying she wont molt.

She is FULL of eggs, just drop da** it!!!

I hope that P. Met drops you one, big, fat, healthy sac full of healthy little eggs/ewls. And congrats on the success of the balfouri pairing! Keep posting pics of those guys as they grow, I just love seeing balfouri slings with their moma.
