Gravid Kenyan

[OldHag]

I just had to post pictures of my poor female...shes so huge and miserable! Poor woman just hangs out by the heat source all day and looks perfectly miserable. Hopefully she will drop em soon.

Here she is.

How many babies are you expecting? Any ideas on what the average "litter" is?

 

[OldHag]

Im not sure at all!! Ive heard of anywhere between 1-5 to 20 (slugs included). This is her first batch. Shes 4 yrs old so shes not a young un. Shes big.. I would assume she will have 10 or more.

last year was my kenyans first cluch and she had 5 little ones, no slugs. I'm hoping for a larger clutch this year

Btw, are they just going to be normal babbies?

 

[OldHag]

They will be 50% possible het for anerytheristic bubbies. The dad is 100% het for anery. I do have a male anery but he wasnt old enough to breed this year. Ill breed him to the normal female and my anery female next year. The "male" that DID breed with her was supposed to be female I have terrible luck in that male/female department...not only just with my tarantulas.

[OldHag]
