Successful C. crawshayi breeding

Oh no man...... ya this could very well be the reason they are turning that color. To anyone reading this, NEVER apply heat to eggs like this. Cooler temps will just mean slower development, but heat like that = death.

I know none of this helps you now Austin, But lesson learned........

Dang dude... Well is it too late to take it off now???

I'd take it off now and just watch the eggs, removing the ones that spoil as they spoil. It is not a lost cause yet. But damage has been done.
This really sucks man I feel for ya. :8o

Would an egg survive with just a little bit of black on the outside? Or will it sooner or later take over it?

I put the mat on b/c I didnt want to lose this sac like I did the last two. I thought the issue with the last two was temperature. But now I've learned it doesnt matter what temp you really keep them at, they will develope, its just a matter of time. I'll remember it next time I breed this species and I'll keep it in mind when my T. plumipes pops one out, hopefully.

Cooler temps just slows down growth in a fertile sac it does not stop it. To much heat is what needs to be avoided. Especially heat that direct.

I would not throw out any eggs till you are 100% sure they no longer have a chance.

Waiting is the hardest part! Some people think breeding is easy. Good Luck!

Well the pads off and it is time to just wait it out I guess. Ryan, how many days do you think it will take for me to start seeing developement iinside the eggs? Being that they are infact fertile..

 

[Talkenlate04]

I think you should have seen it already. At 21 days you would be really close to eggs with legs if not already there. Just wait it out and see what happens. If the heat did not damage all of the eggs you might see something soon.

Ahh, how horrible, yet stupid. Hopefully I'll see something going on in a week, hopefully less. :wall:
