Such a good mom!

[Talkenlate04]

This avic avic gal has been the best mother ever so far.

Ha I feel the same way..My soon to be mom made it a four hour drive home to B.C from Alberta in the winter on bad roads and didnt even munch her sack

 

[Talkenlate04]

Ime it takes a lot to get a mother to eat a sac. I am glad yours made the trip!
I'll have pics of my versi mommy up soon as well.

holy crap ryan... those are huge egg sacs!

 

[Talkenlate04]

They are pretty big! The avic avic lady is kinda small she is only 4.5" ish. But the versi is around 5.5" so that is a big ball of joy she has.

Avics like to make their sacs inside a tube web of webbing so the sac never touches the ground and stays nice and white. I like it when they look flawless like that.

Them are huge. Going to be alot of little ones. Gorgeous T's, I think I want a lot of avic's.
Good luck, Hope they all come out good.

Wow those are some big sacs. I hope my avic avic turns out to be female, it's about 1.5-2" right now. I may be instrested in some slings from her and your versi, so keep me in mind when they are looking for new homes.

I'm wondering if he gives his spiders performance enhancing substances. He always seems to have spdiers produce huges sacs with insane numbers of babies.

Did you pull the sacs today? I've never thought of taking out a sac-holding mom for a photo shoot...I never want to stress them if I can help it. Did they seem put off by the ordeal at all?

Excellent photos, by the way...I hope my versi sac is as big...it's my girl's first, and she's holding it in awkward angles so I can't judge the size very well.

 

[Talkenlate04]

They were very cooperative and did not give me once ounce of trouble. I thought it would be harder then that but it was pretty easy.
I took the sac out for the shoot, but I put it back inside the tube web when I was done and they are back to tending to them as if nothing happened. I'll take them in a few more days maybe I just wanted to check on them when I decided to get some photos. They all look perfect too, nice and yellow glow inside.

Ryan, that is amazing you got both mothers out with their sacs and they still wanted the sac back after AND you had the Versi and Avic Avic together for the shoot!! Very cool!

Those sac's are so pearly white!!

 

[Talkenlate04]

I can't wait to see them hatch! The versi sac I think is going to be a big one.

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

Ryan,
Those last two pics are awesome.

Did you have the ruler at hand while doing this shoot? Did they pretty much not care that the other was there or what?

 

[Talkenlate04]

They were oblivious to one and other the whole time and focused only on holding their bundles of joy.

How's the minatrix coming?
Also, just curious, are minatrix females breedable at 2.5" or so?

My females were all about 2-2.5" and very receptive. Once of the females is slowly working on a tube that looks like it is going to be her egg sac chamber. Plus I sent my male out and he has done the deed with three females.
