Avicularia avicularia Egg Sac Questions

[Vanessa]

I pulled my Avicularia avicularia egg sac yesterday - it was day 30 - and found that none of the eggs had developed. I removed only about six that were shriveled up or black.
When I searched online, I saw numerous posts where people said that they were infertile when they looked like this...


However, when I looked more closely at a couple of them, after putting them into the incubator, I saw this...


I set the incubator up with a heat mat close by, not directly on the incubator, but along the side of the bookcase they are in. After about twelve hours I had this...


After about 24 hours there are some who are sprouting legs...



My question is whether the others are going to end up developing? Could they be that far behind the ones who are already sprouting their legs? Or are they a lost cause at this point?
Although a couple are sticking together, many of them are not and roll around freely.

I can't say for sure that the rest are good but I have had Avic eggs develop into ewls a few days apart..

I only see 3-4 eggs that I would say are deffinetly no good..

Thank you - that was exactly the information I needed! I didn't think that they would be that far behind the others at this early stage, but I will not write them off yet.
Thanks again.

No prob.. As you know temps play a big roll in development time. I would bet over the next two to three days you start seeing more ewls now that you are keeping the eggs a bit warmer.

What were the temps?

the majority look good to me. Nice and creamy.

My place is always in the mid-twenties. Even warmer some days because I have a unobstructed, southern, exposure. Plus, my heat is still on. I really thought that it would be warm enough, but I guess I was wrong.
I counted about six sprouting legs first thing this morning, but just did another check on them and counted about two dozen!
