Problems with Mastigoproctus eggs

[Frederic S.]

Hello,

one month ago I saw my Mastigoproctus female lying on the back with eggs coming out of her.
Unfortunately I left for one month going to Norway.
But now I can' t see an eggsack under the female and their are no babies.
Did it turned wrong?

Yes I recently had the same thing, although I never went away. After almost 3 weeks of incubation the eggs were just gone one morning and mom looked much more plump. I think if the eggs aren't going to hatch for some reason they may eat them.

Just my opinion.

Thank you for the response.
Its sad I was happy to have little babies coming back home .
Normally their should be an eggsac under the opisthosoma like amblypygis have it, or not?

Did you mate here with a male? maybe she wasn't inseminated meaning the eggs weren't fertile.

I had the same last month with my female.
She made an egg sack, even though she was never mated, and after a couple weeks the egg sack was no more.

I bought it as an mated female.
Know i think that i have to buy a male.
