Curly Haired Laid Eggs Help!!!!

[Braydonl]

So my curky haired tarantula hasnt been moving out of her hide so i opened up her cave and she was noticably smaller. I poked around her to get her to move and when she did there was a huge egg sac underneith her. are they fertile ? How do i go about seperating them and will she eat them if the are not removed immediatly

 

[Trenor]

If you haven't mated her with a male then it most likely not fertile eggs. Unless you bought her mature and she was mated before being sent. She'll prob eat the sack after a while.

Tarantulas do not reproduce asexually. Ever. As Trenor said, unless you bought her gravid (very, very unlikely), then it's just a ghost sac. She'll eat it or dispose of it eventually.

Also, how long did you leave her before you opened up her hide? B. albopilosum ("Curly hair") is a very sedentary spider. They can go days without moving a leg. I literally would have left a hide undisturbed for over a month (depending on the size of the spider) before rummaging around in there.

Well for now the worst thing to do is bother the tarantula with an egg sac if you want any viable eggs! Secondly, keep it somewhere with little traffic. Some tarantulas have been known to lay "phantom" egg sacs, but I've never experienced it. The only option seems to be that she is a wild caught adult? It is possible you can get a viable egg sac from her with babies. Make sure there is no water dish in the enclosure in case of any movement of the egg sac heading in to that direction. And make sure there is moisture in the substrate to maintain some humidity. I would dampen the corner of the enclosure farthest away from her. Any questions PM me! I have much experience with breeding, wild caught and my own personal projects.

There is a very good chance your is viable. Do not mess with her, nor it, ok?
I've recently seen multiple posts and threads, just like yours, and in regards to Brachypelma albopilosum .
More than likely, yours is WC, and from the recent Nicaraguan import. A lot of those adult females that came on it, were gravid. A lot of them have dropped sacs in the hobby already.

Leave it with the mother until day 25 or 30. Pull it, and open it, carefully. Then put it into the incubator. Be prepared for 1k+ babies though.

+1 to Austin S. be careful and be ready if viable for many eggs.

If your not ready for lots of little ts then it looks like ull have to do my favourite saying from the British army ...Improvise, adapt, and overcome your situation.

Good look and have fun and please post a pic of the little darlings

 

[Haksilence]

Important piece of info that was left out. When did you buy the specimen? How long have you had it?

 

[Vanessa]

Any update on this situation? They have never posted again.

The egg sac was probably viable, had thousands of little babies, and he wasn't ready so they overran him and ate him out of house and home... Sad day.

Weird . Joined 4-11 and posted one question and never returned . Probably watched a few videos on egg sacs and incubators and said no way . I imagine the T was sold or given away and the sack was trashed .

I hope all survived ...

I agree, what kind of person posts a thread then never returns back to the thread.....hmmmm

Someone who buys an animal on a impulse , like the tourists that you run into at animal expos , and then realizes that their cuddly fluffy new little pet is going to require care and attention . People need to just do what @Poec54 says again and again . . . . do your research before you buy a T and understand the responsibilities and issues that will arise with owning them . At least read the bite reports .

Ya'all jump to assumptions fast. What if OP went afk because of family issues? That sac could be safely incubating, but there's been no follow-up because real life happened.

No scientific name? Check. Poking the spider when they thought something was wrong? Check. All caps thread title? Check.

Nope, I'm with Boris and CB on this one. Impulse buy.

The last time they were on the forum was the day they posted this. I was curious if there was an update. Plus, I was asking for a bit of selfish reasons, actually. I noticed that they were in Canada and was kinda hoping that they might have B. albo Nicaragua slings that they might be needing someone to take some off their hands. It was a bit of wishful thinking on my part.
Not all altruistic, I'm afraid.

AFK for ten minutes is no biggie . AFK for forty one days ? It's time to send out a search party .

It could been taken from.nature pregnant

If you search up some of the breeding threads on here you can get a good idea of what you need to do.

If the babies hatch while in the Enclosure with the mother they will be able to escape through the lid.

They are not ridiculously difficult to care for as tiny slings, but there are a couple of environmental factors that must be met. Moisture is one important one. Warmer temps than adults can tolerate is another.

No one can find what happened to the creator of this thread , missing . I’ve not tried breeding in years the b Vagans died got stuck it molt after its egg sack failed .
Op been missing for 40 days people said .
