This is a continuation of the discussion from Double clutching by BoyFromLA. I am creating a new thread to be maintained by moderators, since regular users cannot edit their posts for more than 12-48 hours.

The following is a list of species that are known to Arachnoboards members to produce more than one viable egg sac after a single pairing. If you have firsthand knowledge of an additional species double clutching, you can reply to this thread to have it added to the first post.

  • Catumiri parvum
  • Encyocratella olivacea
  • Ephebopus uatuman
  • Guyruita cerrado
  • Heteroscodra maculata
  • Heterothele gabonensis
  • Idiothele mira
  • Monocentropus balfouri
  • Neoholothele incei
  • Omothymus violaceopes
  • Phormingochilus sp. "Akcaya"
  • Plesiopelma longisternale
  • Poecilotheria ornata
  • Poecilotheria striata
  • Psalmopoeus cambridgei
  • Psalmopoeus victori
  • Pterinochilus murinus

Do you believe the sac in May to be viable?.Any thoughts to how long until you have EWL from the May sac.

Possibly viable, only time will tell to be sure. Time from egg to EWL will usually be about 18-25 days depending on how I care for females with egg sacs.

Grammostola rosea double clutch laid at the same time June 2023.
The first egg sac was large and the second one next to it was normal sized.
They were laid and later hatched at the same time with +326 healthy G.rosea slings all together.

I can’t say it counts as only one sac was good, but this is my female E murinus with her 4th sac (which she ate after a week)
