Undeveloped Egg, you get them with almost all births. The females eat them.

Nice pics Oliver,
How much time between both trinitatis' broods ?
If it's the first time you breed U.planimanus, you can keep both sexes together during a long time without any problem, I kept several couples together, it's funny how they always stay under the same hiding place.
Cheers

72 days between her last birth and this one

Thanks for the info on the U. planimanus, that will save some space ;)

It seems that 2-3 months is a good average for gestation period of second parthenogenetic broods in various Tityus spp (gestation periods for following part. broods can vary a lot).

Hope your female will not eat the male :eek:
