Well I wanted to show that more than half of them are eggs with legs now...

And now just to figure out what the heck I am going to do with all of them..
Or the just the ones that make it past their 2nd instar..

Get rid of them?

But why? You bought one T and got 100+ freebies! Was a killer deal!

 

[Stan Schultz]

Thanks.. Now I just got to get rid of most of them..

1. Go to http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/forumdisplay.php?f=24. Contact each of the dealers advertising there, asking if they can use them and how much they'll pay. Repeat this on every other forum that you can find that has a similar page.

2. Post a message on this forum to the effect of "Baby Chilean roses, $1.00 each - you pay postage," or "Baby Chilean roses, $10.00 each, postage prepaid." Repeat this on every other forum that you can find. Stand back and brace yourself for the stampede!

3. Advertise in the "Pets for Sale" section of your local newspaper.

4. Look up the name and contact info for the nearest herptile or tarantula club. Find out when they're going to hold their next show. Reserve a booth or contact another booth holder to negotiate sharing a booth.

Note: In all circumstances, the person you're sending the babies to MUST pay the postage/freight. If you don't do this, you're going to lose your shirt!

Shipping them is problematic at best, and too involved to cover here. Do a search in this forum for information instead. However, you need to be really careful about sending them anywhere during late fall, winter, or early spring because of the potential for freezing then to death.

If you end up sending them to a dealer, ask for specific instructions on packing and shipping. If you send them to other enthusiasts, try to do so only during warm weather.

A question you didn't ask is "How do I take care of all these spiderlings?"

1. Assembly line all operations. Keep them individually in little bottles or vials, but keep these collected in trays or shoe boxes. Feed and water them in batches.

2. Set aside one evening (or other time) a week for their care. This is sacred time. Keep your weekly date.

3. Read the various tarantula books for more specific instructions.

Congratulations! Best of luck.

Good to hear this, and you're welcome.

I know I'm verbose, but what we write here becomes part of a semi-permanent record, viewable by anyone who does a simple search like:

rosea eggs

(See? Now you too are famous!)

Thus, while my reply was addressed directly at you, it was written so that anyone looking for information on the topic would get it from my post.

Enjoy all your little eggs with legs!

[Redneck]

Thanks I just hope I can keep most of them looking that way.. I know some wont make it but I am keeping my hopes HIGH..

 

[Redneck]

Well I have come to another question for everyone.. I cant seem to find that video that Robc made explaining eggs with legs.. And I have a question pretaining to the instar.. How do they go?

First egg..
Then molt to eggs with legs..
Then molt to first instar.. (Fangs and spinerettes visable?)
Then molt to secong instar.. (Visable hairs?)

Is this correct? I would like to know because my G. roseas have molted again and are showing visable hairs now.. Is this first or second instar??

That is correct, but when eggs go from egg to eggs with legs it is more emerging than molting. @ molts after eggs with legs stage is 2nd instar, how about some pics!!

 

[Redneck]

Thanks for the reply Rob. I will take some pictures right now and get them on here... There are quite a few that have molted and some are currently molting now.. IT SOOO COOL TO WATCH!! Now I see why you are soo excited when you pull your sacs...
