Dang, sorry to hear that, Becca. Hopefully she'll drop another sac for you. Better luck next time.

Thanks, David, I hope so...
I'm going to keep feeding her and just hope for a second sac. She's not very far into the molt cycle, so hopefully all will go well. She certainly has a nice, plump abdomen now...
Bearskin - how are your females doing?

I am sorry about your irminia sac my female did that to me a couple years back... Nothing from my girls yet but they are still eating like pigs but can't say I really know if they look gravid or not because I have not really been able to get a good look at them, on another note though I have a cambridgei that looks like she is ready to pop and then got some first instar cambridgei living with mother over at a friends house, I am 1/3 owner of that...

My Psalmopoeus irminia (SUN TIGER) made an eggsac today
I hope its ok to post this here Becca.
My female made an eggsac today. She was bred with the same male in this post (which also happened to be my male). Now it's Greg's turn
sorry the picture is not very clear, I didn't want to disturb her too much. This the 3rd eggsac for me so far this month.

Of course, Surena! I'm sure your male would love this thread - documentation of all his sexual escapades - with photos!
Congrats on the sac! I hope it turns out well!

He didn't go to waste for sure !
I have another female that was also mated with him, and I'm waiting for her to lay an eggsac, as she has webbed up her enclosure and also looks graved.
It is amazing that she laid that only after she was mated less than a month and half ago.

This sac is from the smaller of my 2 females (her first mating) bred with Surena's male, now just waiting for my larger old faithful girl to drop now...

Hey Surena I just pulled the first sac from the smaller female and all looks to be pretty good, looks to be around 50 L'eggs
Nothing to do with this thread but I thought it was a cool pic and you might enjoy it... Lot of little baby cambridgei...

Bearskin,
Congratulations! How many days did you wait to pull the eggsack? I have a P. irminia sitting on a sack right now. I'm planning on pulling her sack on day 30. I also have a second larger female that was mated last week. With a little luck I'll have an eggsack out of her too.
Thanks!
Gilbert

Hey GQ,
I pulled it at 26 days, I do normally wait until 30-35 days but just got a little bug to yank this one early and am happy they were not still just eggs, I have one more irminia sac 5 days behind this one and am planning on waiting a few days past 30 to pull it...
Good luck with your sac... Greg
