How soon can you mate a female after she laid an eggsac? I know some species double clutch but is there any real time frame about when to mate the said female?
You could give it a shot a couple days after.....but best to wait till she molts again.....How soon can you mate a female after she laid an eggsac? I know some species double clutch but is there any real time frame about when to mate the said female?
Any Ts known for producing multiple sacs within a molt?You could give it a shot a couple days after.....but best to wait till she molts again.....
worst case senario, she eats the male, or molts out.....could also be hard on her physically to deal with 2 sacs per cycle....excluding those sp. who double clutch naturally.
Im not positive on the risks of 2 sac per cycle,....I had a C. Fasciatum that double clutched last year but first produced few egg with legs and the 2nd clutch was eaten by mites... I dont know if cyclosternum are known for double clutch or it was just a coincidence...

Crawltech: is there a scientific study that says that females who were pushed to have 2 sacs per cycle would be at risk of having health issues even if given proper feeding and nutrition? I knew some people who sell their proven breeder females after laying a sac coz of the belief that its harder to reconditioned a female that just laid a sac as compared to a freshly matured/molted female. Any truth to this belief?:?
