Thanks Rob.
This is so exciting that I want to share every detail. Today is officially 21 days since she laid sac. I will see later today if I got alot more legs.

Destiny is still protecting and tending to empty sac. I went to spray mist the enclosure and had to close the door right away. She came out full force again with some serious threat postures and fangs withdrawn. Ripping her web and practically jumping out legs wide spread open. I'm not going to mist anymore now.;P
She's really taking the mother role seriously! I love it!

Congrats on Destiny's slings hatching!

 

[SNAFU]

Big congrats on the sac and now your eggs-with-legs starting! Keeping these beauties more available for us addicts, PRICELESS!

 

[Man1968]

Please continue to keep us up to date. I am as interested as if they were mine.

Aghh, you so bad! poor Gal dont even know the switch you made
At least will you give her big juicy roach?

Congrats on good looking leggs

Haha... She is so involved with that sac. Just thinking about opening the doors of the enclosure gets her in an amazing threat pose. She practically stands on just her two hind legs trying to make herself look huge. She fully rebuilt the nest. I am going to wait till she comes out to feed her. And unfortunately, she may not take a roach... she is so darn picky.:wall: I hope she will be starving enough to take one down cause she is not going to ever get a cricket again.

I will update on the eggs real soon. I'm so worried about them, hoping I do everything right.

 

[TalonAWD]

Update!!

Heres the update!

I am trying to decide what to do with the Female. She is still guarding the empty sac and haven't eaten or had a drink for over a month. If I so much as touch the doors, she gets ready to defend. I don't want to stress her out or make her feel insecure for the sake of future attempts.

That sucks, bro.....sorry to hear.

 

[JC]

Sorry man.

Anyone know what happened here? I think it might have been a humidity problem.

I had it between 80-90%. I can't see how it was a humidity problem:?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Could have been humidity. As I mentioned before I have never seen 80-90% and no condensation at all in the setup. As I said on ATS I am pretty sure you can blame this,

small 20W light above the entire setup to warm the cubical the setup was in to maintain the temps at 80-85F

80-85 is really really warm for eggs exposed out of the egg sac imo.

Chin up man. I am sure you will learn from this and do well next time.

Ryan...is it possible the lamp dried them out (dry heat)...my T room is 83 degrees but with a moist heat...my incubators were at about the same heat, but not a dry heat...maybe this had something to do with it?

 

[Talkenlate04]

I don't know. Its all speculation at this point. But I do know I would never keep my Ts or my egg sacs in that temperature range. 80 is about as high as I'll go but 76-78 is my target temp for the room.

That is very good info :clap: I tend to go higher and have had success...but I think that is due to the heat not being dry....pure specualtion though.
