Major Sackage.......Klugi

[aluras]

Thanks for the information! I wonder what species the L. striatipes and L. fracta currently in our hobby are going to become? Especially since I have two of each.

L. fracta? I still have not seen a pic of one of these,,,can you post one? :drool:

All I have are two slings right now. Here is a picture of what a sub-adult is supposed to look like: http://meyken.spiderlinge.de/?Galerie&pic=39&page=4

Pix

This is about the best I can do on the klugi pix, they are from Volgelspinnen by Schmidt, and prob as good as a pic all told, deffinately knows his way around a species list, Cheers to the Germans!!!! PEACE, B.

Thank's Eric. I'll take a look at it. Reducing to 6 species seems dramatic to me, but doesn't surprise me, as the same was attempted with Grammostola genus...with no success so far.

Veneficus, I think the important thing is to know the spider in question, but not so big deal the name, because it changes many times (as it always happens sooner or later in taxonomy). It's important to know there are different spiders and recognize them, mainly for successful and proper breeding in captivity, and obtain strong blood-lines.

Reptist, thank you for the info and photos. I'm not such a big fan of mr. Schmidt I must say, hehe. But it's interesting the how similar the spermathecae of L. difficilis and L. klugi seem to be..

thanks very much ...but 1 thing thats hard to tell from the drawing.

are the spermathacae two seperate ears? or are they 1 flap slightly fused at the bottom?

my curiosity is killing me

I am aware of tarantulas changing many times in their taxonomy; however, I am into breeding and I like the Lasiodora species, so I want to make sure to breed true. While right now I can stick to the species which are still listed as such, later down the road I will need to know, especially if I want to find viable males. It's a problem I'm currently encountering with the Pamphobeteus species too.

should be getting ready to molt to 1st instars soon. they are starting to darken a little.

p.s. what does she look like in those pics?

Call me a sceptic, but the eggs in the photos look dried out and no good. I've grabed sacs too early, and by the overall looks of things, I think you did too. I'm just asking for one photo that is current, showing a mass of post embryos, close to molting. Don't mean to be a jerk, it's just I see alot of people worrying about what species it is, but who cares if they are no good. Show me the "mother load", not eggs....

With massive love, Swifty

They look good to me. I am not to sure why you think that they look bad.
I took these on day 7 and dumped them out of the sac like he did (I don't know what day he took his.) and they all hatched. My picture is brighter from my flash but our eggs look the same. I am sure he will post a picture of the little ones soon!

straight to the point! atta Man!

Mmmm, looks like a yellow caviar, yuam :drool:

It's nature man, and you got lucky...It takes a certain amout of days for sperm to soak into the eggs, but I'll bet you put them into an incubator of some sort, but the photos show open air flow, and too much of it, plus the female holding the eggsac looks far too dry. But who cares about all that, show me the babies....Those eggs are toast. I'll eat my hat no problem, but prove me wrong. At best a few may have pulled through. Back in 2002 I produced B. ruhnaui, now B. albiceps, and got anxious and grabed them too early, I got 6 good babies out of maybe 600. Again in the same year B. emilia, got 15 out of maybe 600. If Bryant Capiz was around, he would tell you the same thing, but don't hate me because I'm beautiful, show me the babies...

Those were the days, RIP Bryant!!! still best in the biz IMO, PEACE, B.

i shouldn't need to post these but here is "PROOF"

she had the sac for at least 20 days before i pulled it from her also...(so i don't think that was too early)

here it is for the sceptic....

 

[Hamburglar]

Awesome... well done. If any of those should accidentally fall into an envelope with my name on it..... go ahead and stick in the mail...

 

[pato_chacoana]

Well, I guess there's the proof hehe Well done...looking good!

 

[Talkenlate04]

Never heard of him. Is there anything online about him to read?

It's nature man, and you got lucky

I have been taking all my sacs around the 10 day mark and it has gone fine so far with about a 98% hatch out rate to 2nd instar. The 2% mainly being molting issues or sibling related murdering.
Plus I am pretty sure he had a lid on the setup. My incubation method is the exact same way. Anyway.......

i shouldn't need to post these but here is "PROOF"

It is still awesome to see updated pics! Look at all of them! :clap: Do you have your containers ready yet?

I hear ya. I miss Bryant. RIP I got my first T from him.

Ok, I'll start eating Seriously though taking the sac is one thing, opening it too soon is another, and can doom them, so folks try it at your own risk.
But hey, what do I know, I've only produced live viable offspring of 92 species of tarantulas to date, and many of them more than just once...like I said, what do I know?

That is very impressive too... I cant even get a pair to approach each other...

Awesome!! Did you ever figure out how many you have?
