Tarantula Eggs With Legs and Sling Care

[Brittany2222]

I am a newbie to breeding and am currently waiting to pull an egg sac from my Tlitocatl Albopilosum. I have constructed an incubator for after the sac is opened and was wondering at what stage to start feeding the babies. Do I wait for a few molts first? AND I was wondering for how long I might be able to cohab the slings until separation? My initial plan is to keep them together and feed them as a group for a little while. Thanks!

Just molting to second instar...ready to go very soon!

this is when they should be seperated...they will begin eating a week to 10 days after molting. Once they are ready to eat, they should all be seperated.

Dont leave them together and dont feed while theyre together (you will never keep track of who ate and who didnt, plus they will eat one another).

When i was seriously into breeding i always separeted them when they where eggs with legs or nymphs, just because it is way more easy working with non moving spiders than already develouped spiderlings running around

If I had never gotten into tarantulas, I wouldn't know about eggs with legs. They're just so cute and goofy, if you told me this was a prank everyone played on new keepers for how spiders grow, I'd believe you. I feel like eggs with legs could be used to combat the stigma against tarantulas.
