another problem is, even with powerfeeding, she may not molt for another 10 months or so. So by then more than likely the male will have passed on. So maybe the best thing to do in this case, is to pass him along to someone needing a male.

At this point, that's your best option for getting more slings. You could loan him to someone who has a lot of experience and success, with instructions that he be closely supervised during any pairing to ensure he survives (and only be paired once per female); that way you should be able to get him back later.

Im actually working on trading him off right now. If the trade doesnt work than i will probably go with a loan. Whats weird is my female still looks pretty plump, and the sac doesnt look all that big. But time will tell.

Really like the shot of the irminia!

And that S. cal female looks huge next to the male. Good luck with that one ;)

Acanthoscurria geniculata sac pulled!

I decided to pull the sac a few days early because the female accidentily dipped the sac into her water dish. I tried to prevent this by placing a deli cup inside the dish and filling it with water for humidity. I seen her have the sac in the edge of the dish, so i figured i better pull it. Its been 25 days, and they are all eggs. I figured at this point they should be ewls. Im really afraid to have eggs in the incubator, i have never had any luck with eggs. I tried a little something different in the incubator to allow the coffee filters to hammock over water in each cup, then the cups sit on wet paper towels. So hopefully i get lucky and they start growing legs soon. This would be the first time i ever have eggs that made it. There is a ton of eggs in there, and the sac is a whopping 2.5" wide, so hopefully this works out. Ill update the progress (if any).

Lol for sure! Just by eyeballing it and totally guessing, there looks to be around 1200 eggs!
