Is that what I think it is..?

[Pestilence]

so do i still have to incubate them? is it already sure that its bad? or would you rather i incubate them to be sure?

 

[Pestilence]

oh and another thing.. when can i breed her again? do i have to wait for her to molt again?

 

[Anastasia]

Looks infertile to me too, I dont think it will be long before they turn black
you can wait for that to be sure

 

[Pestilence]

Thank you Anastasia. can i mate them after a few days or do i have to wait for them to molt before i mate them again?

 

[Zoltan]

Well, I'm not good at breeding questions but I can answer the male part of your question: the male has to produce and pick up sperms again via the sperm web. After that he's ready to roll!

 

[Anastasia]

well, I didnt have much experience with Rosies
I know sum Tarantulas will produce more then one sac between molts
I would say feed her first, give her 2-3 weeks rest and breed her again, worst thing can happened she will molt
oh and keep that cage dry
trash all the peat out, wash cage good, put all new peat
keep dry and clean all cricket remands out least day or so after feeding, keep the water in a water dish available at all the times
good luck with her

The eggs you have separated out still have good coloration and it's to early to tell if they are good or bad because you wouldn't see any development at this stage anyway. I would incubate them. Remove any eggs that go bad every day until you either have only good eggs or no eggs. I would never give up on them until I knew there was no point in trying.

I would take the female out of her cage and sterilize it with white vinegar and then dry it out completely. Give fresh substrate and only a water dish as a drinking source. Feed her for a while to fatten her up again and remove any boluses to prevent another mite problem. The fact that the egg sac was till sticky and there was obiously some decay going on may have attracted the mites to begin with. You can try breeding her ifyou still have the male but your chances of another egg sac before she molts just went down dramatically.

 

[Pestilence]

thank you for the input Aubrey. is there some way i could tell if the eggs are bad? how do i separate copulated eggs?

 

[Talkenlate04]

There is no way to know for sure which are good and fertile and which are not. All you can do is keep the best eggs separate, rotating them every day till ether they spoil or hatch out.

 

[Pestilence]

quick question... whats the best way to separate the eggs when they copulate? i tried to separate them but some popped..

 

[Talkenlate04]

You cant. Every time an egg pops your chances of saving that cluster go down because you have more fluid that is coating the eggs and will cause spoiling in the end. So all you can do is wait it out.
