Great picture! How many viable babies did you get out of that sac?

Edit:
I know how to count, I'm just wondering if there are any hiding or were cannibalized, et cetera.

Got 122 out. :) There were lots in the females hide.
This pic was taken before I separated them. Put 10 back with the female after I had rehoused the slings. And then another 5 that were not sold, so 15 are currently living with her.

P regalis communal, started out with 9 slings 3 years ago, pretty much no one was eaten, a few molted mature, traded some away. Sorry for the messiness, they aren't very good house keepers always have cobwebs, don't know why. I'll have to clean it out this weekend.

There are 3 left, 2F + 1M I think. Most males matured out within the first 2 years, so this last one looks male but very questionable. Can never get a good molt from this one to id.



Female 1



Female 2



Male?

Yes, that's a male.
Its amazing how a few males mature at a smaller size and younger age, and then the rest mature later. Had the same thing happen with my fasciata communal and now my regalis.
