Mighty sack !

[Nitibus]

I haven't seen a post on egg sac sizes. I know some species have 75-150 eggs. I hear L. Parahybana have like 2000 eggs.


Any first hand accounts ? What's your most and least favorite species to breed, and how large is the egg sac ?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Least favorite? I dont have one. Its fun every time no matter what the species. First hand........ I have had two Smithi sacs this year one with 1126 the second with 901 and 7 other sacs in the past. I have had a regalis sac with 110. Emilia sacs between 650-950. And one having 1000+ C.Fasciatum at about 55 is a good average for me I guess. B. boehmi I only got 80 something out of the one boehmi sack I got. There was mold in the sac when I opened it. Some eggs were saved. If I remember correctly B albopilosum I have had three sacs and they all were right around 1000 give or take 100. Avicularia avicularia I only have had one sac from those guys, and got 35 slings. I had major humidity issues with that sac. B. vagans I have had three sacs. Only one was good. One was eaten one was dried up and the third had some mold issues but 400+ were still saved.
I love brachys and do a lot of breeding with them, I have a mature pair of Brachypelma baumgarteni coming in tuesday so they will settle down for a few days and I will start in on them Id love to get a sac from that girl I am happy I even get the chance to try. I have my 3rd Smithi sac cooking right now still pretty new I think we are on day 9. I have two huge P Regalis that are going to get mated one more time just to make sure, They are huge so we shale see. I have a C Faciatum sac and a B albo sac right now as well.
I think thats about it. Pokies are my new distant future goal in breedings. Other then Regalis I have 0 breeding experience with pokies.
I want to hear from others as well!
Anyone on here got any tips for the Pokie breedings? I read a lot of stuff but first hand accounts are always better!

Anyone have a " pokie project " in the works ?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Formosa and Ornata. Just finished with Regalis. I have three Formosa females, an immature male, and if I am lucky I am second in line for a MM. And I have a MM in with my Pederseni female right now.
In the distant future, striata, fasciata, rufilata. I have groups of 15 of each.

P. metallica 166
P. rufilata 113
P. irminia 140
P. murinus 227

As for pokie projects, I currently have bred:

3 P. metallica
2 P. miranda
2 P. ornata
1 P. rufilata
1 P. striata

If I can get my hands on a formosa male, I've got 1 girl ready for him, and I'm waiting for my P. regalis male to start spinning, because I've 2 girls lined up for him.

Emilia sacs between 650-950. And one having 1000+

OMG... is that what I have to look forward to if I am successful breeding my 4 emilia girls this year? :: faints :: Here I was figuring on a nice conservative 200 per girl
