P. regius eggs dying

[BobGrill]

So about two weeks ago shortly before she passed by female left me with an egg sack. Some eggs look like they’re starting to turn black, so I’m going to assume that these are infertile or for whatever reason were just not meant to make it . I know that with tarantula egg sacs we can artificially incubate it and likewise separate the bad eggs from the good ones, but how does one achieve this with a jumping spider sac ? Or any hammock style sack for that matter?

Previously when I kept a female jumping spider, she gave birth to numerous babies. I didn't feed them until they left the eggsack, then I seperated a few of them into different containers. It is very hard to raise babies as they can drown in droplets of water, and prey isn't always the right size. They will eat each other though, meaning not all will survive. You could put them in groups of three or so, raise them for a bit, then seperate them into different containers. Good food for them would be springtails, just shake them into communal container, don't worry about everyone getting fed - the toughest will survive. As they grow bigger, you can feed them fruitflies. Hope this helps - good luck, and keep me updated.

Also, the bad eggs will most likely be eaten by other babies.

Thank you for the response. I actually am quite familiar with raising and breeding this species, however this is my first time encountering a sac with any bad eggs . I was just more concerned with the dead eggs possibly contaminating the rest of the sack.
