We decided it was time to pull our latest versicolor egg sac (this one from female #2 - it's her first sac). She did a great job!!

Ours was 19-20 days when I pulled it but my T room is kept around 83 degrees and 85% humidity....if yours are at room temp, I'd say you'd be safe pulling it at 25 days.

Yeah, those incubators are awesome - work great, every time!!

Thanx for your quick reply!
Temp is about 79 degrees and humidity is 85/90%
At night the temp drops till about 70 degrees and the humidity will be than rise to about 95%

I dont have experience with this incubator yet. This A.versicolor sac is my very first sac ever! And i'm very excited :D keeping T's for about 4 years now. So it's about time! :p

Congrats!!! the incubator does everything...just keep an eye out for mold and remove molts...and any that don't survive.

congrats Rob and good luck with them!When you say 12 days do you mean she laid the egg sack 12 days after being mated?

Thank you! Yes, it was 12 days after mating that she laid this sac. The sac before, from my other female, was laid 15 days after mating. I'm not sure why they are laying them so quickly....least it's quick in my opinion. My other female is laying a sac right now and I mated her on 4/27 - 11 days ago?? The sac I pulled the other day, the one in this thread, started molting into 1st instars this morning! They are going quick - not sure why but they are like on hyper speed!! LOL

I also wonder why A.versicolor is so fast making a eggsack.
I notice my sack just 7 days after mating. So she probely bild him earlyer.
