Well its now been almost 11 weeks.
As I mentioned in a previous post, about 2 weeks ago, I pulled the eggsac and found it to contain about 8 eggs with legs and the rest undeveloped eggs.
After a couple weeks, there hasn't been much if any change. The eggs with legs wiggle a little from time to time, but there is not sign of them molting into 1st instar any time soon. The eggs still haven't developed and a couple started to mold. (I removed them tonight).
I was wondering if it was possible any of the remaining eggs would develop? If not, I was planning on removing them and only leaving the spiderlings. (The mold thing has really got me concerned)
Also, does anyone know why the eggs with legs aren't developing? Am I being too impatient? This waiting has really got me concerned about them and I am afraid I am giving them too much attention.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Ralph
