Has anyone had a Grammastola Pulchripes double clutch?

[BsTs]

My Grammastola Pulchripes made her eggs sac 3 weeks ago. But she still has a huge abdomen could she be double clutching?

My black widow does this.

What happens when they double clutch? Do they discard the first sac?

What happens when they double clutch? Do they discard the first sac?

No. All sacs are viable. I end up with multiple spiderlings

 

[BsTs]

Do they have multiple sacs on the go at the same time?

Do they have multiple sacs on the go at the same time?

Yes. I’ve had them lay a large cluster. Then a week later lay another smaller sac. This has been due to increased feedings. No clue if there is any correlation to this however. I’m an engineer not an entomologist haha.

 

[BsTs]

You continue feeding after they lay their egg sac?

 

[Poonjab]

Yeah. Let’s keep in mind we are talking about true spiders, not tarantulas.

 

[BsTs]

Thank you

 

[Poonjab]

Thank you

Yeah, no problem.
