MrT,
at the moment I have put the eggsack in something like an incubator: a small box, with a hammok and wet paper towel on the ground under the hammok for the humidity. The whole box I have put at a warm place. (see the photo below).
I don't know how many offspings my females usuall get, because I have stoped to remove the eggsacks and even the slings from the females a few years ago. Too much work! =;-) Only this time I have removed the eggsack to make some photos for my photo collection. Normally I let "hatch" the eggsacks in the females tank and take only the ones out of the tank which I give away, for example when someone visits me and is interested in a free gift. Overhere you almost can't sell P. cambridgei slings anymore (you get 0,5 to max. 1 $ for each), because it's bred very often. => a too common species for the most "collectors". =;-( But it's till one of my fav. T's.
According to an article about the genus Psalmopoeus, 80 - 130 slings are in the normal range. Maybe I will count mine in the next days, just to get some more datas about this species.
all the best,
Martin
