hi all,
maybe some of you read that i had to pull my a. versicolor's sac very early (around week 3) because she threatened to eat it.
so, here's the timetable, and honestly, i'm confused!
- pulled sack the weekend before last, as the sack was damaged, i spilled the eggs out: only eggs, no development, but all fertile and well looking.
put them in homemade incubator and rotated them every few hours
- last thursday, 5 days after pulling the sac: eggs molted into eggs with legs, all of them within 24 hours, no eggs without development
- TODAY, only 5 days after molting into postembryos, they have started to molt again
i just went home in my lunch break to rotate them, and there already were 4-5 mobile little critters wiggling their pale yellowish legs around.
so how can they develop that quickly??? i thought it would take them at least 2 weeks before the next stage?
anyone else had this happen? is it a bad sign? they look good though. i never had eggs develop that quickly... so any thoughts are appreciated.
