so you normally let them hatch out with the mother? how do you collect them all that way? I have always pulled the sack once it passed 17-20 days and allowed them to grow seperate from the mother, I didnt know folks left them with the mother,,,
all depend on individual case and they all different,
many that I let hatched with mother often stay with mothers for long time
other less communal species get separated with some time(when I have time)
and get captured one by one, that way I can do that at my own pace
This year I hatched 3 P subfusca sac's with in month from each other
first got separated two other all still with moms and they will stay with moms till they sold or grow out of room :D

How do you keep the proper ventilation, but prevent the babies from escaping?

oh that is easy, I stay away from breeding microscopic tarantulas
and usually holes are smaller then any slings that hatch
also custom built enclosures with screen vents.

well, I bred successfully and produced dozens of Poecilotheria.
Many let hatch with mothers and many had to pull if a possibility of saving if something goes wrong
this was the case.
Also possibility of been first successful sac production, I had to interfere, taken no chances


what can I say 't was my butt feeling :D
Ana I do this with all my poecilotheria now, pull them at 12-17 days and put them in the mechanical Mom LOL!! I started doing this after my P. metallica at her sac.....and it works great, I can't imaginge keeping a P.smithi sac with the mother full term, you would have had a nervous break down!!!{D{D. All I can say is wow!! You did a great job ana and you should be very proud to produce a sac like this, please post pics of all the stages of these guys.....really interested in seeing them! I am telloing you, you must giuve your MM's viagra because every MM I get from you produces a sac???LOL!!!


Again,

Congrats!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Rob,
I have one of them Mmom gadgets too but I found out that any sac hatched with Real mom is more healthier, robust and larger slings, some sacs that was placed in Mech mom had quite a few problems,
so I really prefer more natural way, with real moms, unless there is something wrong and I had to interfere

May i ask waht day you put those sacs in there, just curious LOL. I have hatched a p. pederseni sac and a rufilata sac out of mine and the rufi had not one bad egg abd the P. pederseni had 190 and 185 lived. But I am sure with the volume of sacs you produce problems will occur LOL!!

I may do that with regalis, wait, you leave them until they emerge?? That has gotta be a huge chore getting them out of the enclosure!! With the way my tanks are with real wood and backdrops I would never get them all out Ana!!! I bet that is a site to see though, do you have any pics of this, I would love to see those!!!

Regalis, I wouldnt even bother to get em out, let them grow until they big and collect them as you need it
right now I have few leaving with moms, even P ornata, but that wont last long
those naughty ones will be captured one in each detention vial
but I been enjoying to watch them for 3 weeks now kids riding on mom and crawling all over mom and funny thing they do, just hilarious
Now taking pix of happy family is a little iffy
we all know that Poecilotheria is a poop masters, so just think adding to big moms butt 100 or so little ones :rolleyes:
its worse then statue in city parks attacked by pigeons {D
and move whole family to clean container for photoshoot... nuh.. I got other fun things to do ;P
but I will try to capture some clean spots if I find any, haha
