I think I’ll be packing a separate post and report overviewing my entire husbandry process instead of bumps that may not be found. But……

Noticed this morning she stopped carrying/rotating the sac and it was out in the open but didn’t have time to check what was going on.

I just got back from an errand a few moments ago and started doing maintenance rounds, what do I see…..? A Cerbalus sp. “Egypt” sling!

Called my wife in to come see, sent photos to a few arachnid/insect friends. Then went back for another look after noticing two in different locations.


Then I see this…..!

So a pretty decent success thus far!! And time to do a lot of fun separating soon!

I’ll update here and in a separate new post !

a couple shows back we had about 10 of them. I was so tempted to buy, I didn't and now I kind off regret it. I wanted to do more research on husbandry

Oh nice! I felt the same way and thought I might not be able to given the lack of info on them, but l I took a shotl and I’m glad I did!
I’ll definitely be writing up separate husbandry and care for them so hopefully , when you get them you’ll succeed too!
