awesome vid rob, how many did you get out of the sac? how many were bad?
I liked the pictures at the end, so cute. Are you gonna try and give the mommy back her sac with like a few cotton balls inside of it or a ping pong ball or somethin? I feel sad for her :(

We got about 140 out of the sac! Very happy about that! One or two were bad, she was a very good mom! She is fine now though...hunting and eating like crazy!

If you thought those pics at the end were cute - check out this video! Got the little guys all wiggling around...adorable!!

Oh I was!!!! That ruler was the best thing to use - no way I could have used tongs to hold her back. She tried her best to get around the ruler, and if she had I would have let go...and ran!! LOL

Big female P. Ornata Feeding Video

This girl has been eating everything in sight since we pulled the sac from her, so I decided to shoot a quick video of her taking down a large dubia roach. I wish you guys could hear what I heard...the camera was outside the glass and missed the sound of her running up and attacking the roach. Very intense...
