Unsuccessful
My computer crashed, so I'm missing a lot of data, but I'll try to reconstruct.
I bred my two females to a loaner male from Southern Spiderworks. Only one female accepted him. There were two good inserts observed before things turned hostile. I got the male out in one piece. Breeding took place on 11/15/06. She was wintered in the common room, with temps dropped to 65 all December. Temp were raised to 70 and flooding began in January and on 01/06/07 she laid her sac. By 01/10/07, however, I noticed the sac at the entrance of her burrow. She had discarded almost immediately and when I pulled, it didn't feel right. I opened, all eggs were in one mass and black.
Eggs might have gotten wet? I'd watered just a few days before.
