Pulling the P. ornata sac

[robc]

Thought I would give a update...and not a good one. The p. ornatas molted into 1st instars and where a lot smaller than my previous 1st instar Ornatas (just a observation). Well They all passed away but 1. I have seen something like this with P.irminias but not that many passed away. I am guessing it was genetic.

Whisper some dirty things into her ear you might get her in the mood, and I wish you would have some T's for sale already so I can buy some.

Really sorry to hear that Rob.
Last year I had 2 females mated from the same male, and the male was passed on to another female. All three managed successful sacs, but at stage 1 ewls the maximum each female succeeded was 20 slings, with numbers of 10 and 5! Not knowing the history of the male Im inclined to believe there may have been an issue, perhaps related to genetics, feeding regime etc.
Good luck with your other sacs.

I have to agree...the MM I used was VERY old!
