superb mating pics!

 

[P. Novak]

Hey thanks guys! I'm hoping for some nice big sacs!

 

[P. Novak]

Ok funny story. I have been mating a pair of Cyclosternum fasciatum. I have 2 females and one of the two females tolerates and mates with the male, while the other refuses to mate. Tonight, or should I say this morning, I discovered a nice sized eggsac by the female that has refused to mate. There was absolutely no contact with the male and this female.

Cyclosternum fasciatum eggs

I'll be seperating these tomorrow into smaller groups. I also have no exact date on when this was laid, so I'm going with July 2007.

My P.ornata molted yesterday as well, so look for pics of her soon.

Poecilotheria ornata 0.1

2 days postmolt. These pictures don't do it's justice at all! Sorry for the blurry pics, it really wouldn't stop moving and escaped from me under the sofa(spent 30 min trying to catch it). The first 4 pics are in natural sunlight, and the last one is with flash, looks like a completely different spider.

Hi Paul!

She's beautiful, I like the pic with flash.

How big is she now?

 

[P. Novak]

Hey thanks Alain! Yeah she was metallic green under natural sunlight and purple under the flash, it was awesome seeing the different colors.

Um, she's probably around 7-7.5" now.

Cyclosternum fasciatum 1st instars. They went through the post embryo(eggs with legs) stage incredibly fast.

Great pics Paul! Love your P. ornate girl.

I’m a little confused by the last post . You said the C fasciatum female never bred with your male so I was thinking it was a bad sack in the first set of pics. Or is the second females sack? Or was she gravid before you tried to breed her? This species does double clutch right?

Congrats either way :clap:

Hey thanks steph!

Yeah the female that laid the eggsac was not mated with my male so I thought the same thing either WC or false eggsac, but now that the eggs are in 1st instar I'm pretty sure it's WC or it was mated before it was sold to me. I'm pretty sure she refused mating because she was gravid. I hope they do double clutch, but I'm not sure.

Thanks again!

Cyclosternum fasciatum Second Instars - only half of what was in the eggsac.

 

[P. Novak]

My second Cyclosternum fasciatum female decided to finally pop with an eggsac twice the size of the one above. The one above had 400-500 slings strong; this one will more then likely have double, so I have decided to leave it with the mother.
