Tapinauchenius subcaeruleus female #1 sac!

 

[Poec54]

Thanks! Im hoping the eating of the sacs comes to a halt. Getting very frustrating! :fury:

+1. Last month I had an ornata toss a sac of EWL's into her water bowl, at around 30 days, just days before I was going to pull it. All of them drown. From now on, anything with ball sacs (non-Hartactrinae) immediately loses water bowl priveledges. I don't know that they drink then anyways, and I just keep the substrate a little moister.

 

[catfishrod69]

That sucks very badly man. Very sorry to hear that. I had it happen a couple times myself. Anymore i have been pulling water dishes too. Once a female starts webbing up and building her nest, the water dish goes out the door.

Psalmopoeus irminia female #1 double clutch



Tapinauchenius subcaeruleus female #2 sac



Monocentropus balfouri sac

 

[Poec54]

Do all the Psalmo's double-clutch? I've got 2nd instars from one of my cambridgei females; is she likely to have a 'part two'?

 

[catfishrod69]

Im not exactly sure. But i figure that its usually a genus related thing. So i would imagine all Psalmos do double clutch.

 

[dactylus]

Nice John! Did you get a 2nd Monocentropus balfouri sac?


David

 

[catfishrod69]

Yeah David, that is from the same male, but a different pairing (not a double clutch). The male paired with her, then went to california and paired with two females, then off to NY and paired with two females, then back to me. After i was done with him i sent him to FL for another loan, but unfortunately he didnt survive that trip. But he was an extremely good male, already has youngins, and more on the way.

 

[catfishrod69]

Poecilotheria fasciata sac pulled. 83 ewls, some dont look so well.
