The Geniculata Female was purchased from RobC and the MM was ironically purchased from a guy named Jose in cali. Ive posted picks in a past thread of my MM genic. Sorry to get you so worked up jose, but im really not in this for the money.. Your right tho unfortunately there are individuals who make businesses off this hobby and could care less whats sold. To the best of my knowledge they were both identified to be geniculata by reliable sources.

Personally I dont care to discuss this matter on this thread any longer.



UPDATE.

The eggs in the chamber have solidified. Honestly looks like bacon grease. I think if something like this were to happen again I would use an old sac to put the eggs inside and sew it up. None the less I will continue turning the chamber and wait for something else to happen.

First This is not the time nor place to start suggesting what species I have... (If I was curious I would have posted it in the correct section of "Tarantula Identification").

Second Im not disturbed one bit. I will not lecture you in medical history but maybe you should start on a few names like Galen and work your way to the present. If im disturbed then so is Leonardo Da Vinci and every other person whom has sought after answers on why things happen.

Third your "theroy" on trying to identify species has no evidence behind it and its just an observation. I believe you were imformed this by an actual doctor if I recall correctly. Ive also been told by alot of keepers that you CANNOT ID a tarantula by just looks alone.

Im not trying to be rude a PM would have been more practical if my species concerned you.
Actually Leonardo was a bit disturbed, but in the "good" way. Hard to explain for me in English btw.

I'm really interested in what the outcome would be with those eggs. If it prove to be successful it could help the hobby a bunch.

Well here is the device I created to hold the eggs as you can see they are deff eggs. Also not that they are no longer a liquid but solid stuck in place.

This experiment is most likely a failure however I will hold onto it for 60 days or so (or until it starts to mold) to examine.

I will also upload a small clip soon of the legs moving.

Looks like a bowl of tapioca pudding. :eek:Just don't eat it!

Seriously though...I'd toss that mess before it stinks you out of the house, or worse!!!

mmmm, tapioca.


I do wonder how they would be getting oxygen, an egg sac spun from webbing wouldn't be air tight and I would assume by not having that, that they eggs wouldn't be able to develop and would just die.

Even with birds the eggshell is slightly porus, one of the ways goose populations are regulated is by coating the eggs in mineral oil (or some oil, I can't recall exactly) as it keeps them from acquiring the needed O2.

The capsul is not air tight. I was wondering about airflow myself. I was thinking about melting a few holes in it and wrapping an old eggsac around the holes.

And here is the clip it's a very small section.

This is of her legs moving 25 mins into surgery.. Very Erie.

(Sorry about my son crying in the background) :(

14pokies is on a rampage on this thread... All I did was read his comments as the chances of this actually working are 0 in my eyes, but still worth a try.

Na.. More of a sarcastic rant.. And it wasn't about bashing any one.. It was about illustrating that we all have what can be percieved as faults as keepers and on a broader scope as human beings... I really dislike name calling and pack mentality and i thought that this thread was heading in that direction..

I save my rampage rage for keepers posting handling pics and vids with hotter Ts and the HEY!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I'm really aggrivateing my T and putting it through hell so you will watch this video people...

I'm not offended by anyone's comment I do believe in the free will of speech no matter who you are. If the comments where so offensive that I couldn't bare to read anymore I would bypass this thread.

I have not seen the video and no I care to watch it. I've seen all I needed to see to say it will never work what he is trying to do. The best for this method for it to maybe possibly work is, if you had a real empty egg sac that was slightly open with no eggs or live slings in it, to somehow put new fertile eggs without any spills. Than somehow tightly close the egg sac.

---------- Post added 09-12-2015 at 07:18 AM ----------

A non toxic syringe that has never been used with a big enough hole could possibly suck up the eggs and than disperse into the egg sac. And than close the egg sac tightly if possible and hope for the best.

This would be more of an ideal of science to me. Thomas method is child's play......with some good intention.

Interesting that you brought that up Jose.. I have another idea..

If I were to have wrapped them into the sac, I wonder if I gave it to my diversipes (who's sac I just pulled from her) if she would raise them as her own?

Tarantulas aren't known for their parenting. I think it'd be more likely she eats the sac

You never know she might of. We can only wonder what if?

If she was already being a mom she may hold on to the sac. But who knows until it can be done. One way to find out if you are willing to take the risk, do one attempt swap the egg sac from the two different species that already mother to be.
