Hi all,
In my A.seemani's 10 gal talk today, i notices several small patches of whitish-yellowish eggs that appeared to be covered by web. I saw some patches near the water dish and some near the edges of the cage. I looked down the side of the cage and near the bottom of 4 inches of substrate i noticed some up against the glass as well, also covered by a web-looking substance. Since they were that far down the spider sure did not put them there and i don't see how a cricket could lay eggs there either. I am moving the 4"seemani out of the cage into a 5 gal one anyways because she hardly uses more than 50% of the cage anyhow, and no point in taking the added height risk of a 10 gal if I don't have to. Also i'm moving her because of the mystery eggs and some possible eggs/mold where she always sits. THe cage is at 74-82 F and around 70-80% humidity at all times but there is no misting, the cage is bone dry.
Any ideas of what these "eggs" could be?
Thanks,
Mark
