Pictures of my P. striata female, who produced a successful eggsac this spring. My apologies for the quality of the ventral shot. It's difficult to take a good picture through glass. But at least you can see there's no bellyband :)

Joy,
Great pics as usual and thanks for that ventral shot. I'd like to hear about the whole thing. How many total? How long between the pairing and eggsac production? Anything else you can add, I love to hear about it.
Can anybody verify that this is the first US breeding of Poecilotheria striata?

I'm pretty sure it is John... the first successful one that is.

I know they've been bred out in CA recently as well.

Nice shots Joy, and congrats! Hopefully I'll have luck with Kristen's male... I have 2 girls here waiting on him.

As a matter of fact, I'm just finished writing an article about the experience. But I don't mind giving you a preview :)

Delay between mating and egg-laying:

P. striata #1: 223 days
P. striata #2: 229 days

Days of incubation at 80 degrees F required for development in P. striata eggsac #1:

Post-embryo: 39 days
1st instar: 44 days
2nd instar: 64 days

Number of eggs in eggsacs:

P. striata #1: 101 eggs
P. striata #2: 158 eggs

Number of eggs that successfully developed into 2nd instars:

P. striata #1: 76 spiderlings (75% of eggsac)
P. striata #2: 0 spiderlings (0% of eggsac)

If there's anything else you specifically want to know, please ask!

Received a female P.striata Geckokeeper/KBfauna on Thursday. I think she's a gorgeous looking girl.

Here she is making herself at home in her new enclosure:
