Update on Avicularia versicolor eggsac.

[bliss]

yes, frowny face is right. lol.

I pulled the sack at 20 days, opened it up, and found a lot of eggs, but a few had turned black. The ones that were yellow had the milky color to them the pictures will tell the rest. The male was a loan with Ab user "weirdperson".

I will say though, the versi girl treated the sack very well, she's such a good mother!

Yeah it does, maybe next time i'll have better luck. If my regalis lays a sack, i hope it goes better than this did...

Sorry to hear that, what a bummer!

Well darn, my B vagans mated female molted out last night. She was huge, i thought for sure she was gonna lay an eggsac lol.

jeeze, everything bad happening at once

Dan, I've had eggs that look worse hatch....you are still good!

Check it,

These Sing blue eggs dried out badly and looked much "chalkier" than yours..the nymphs hatched out but couldn't free themselves from the hard shells. I thought they were doomed but as they molted they cleared the eggs and have been perfect ever since!

You're still in the ball game man.

I was thinking the same thing. Just remove the black/bad eggs and incubate the rest.

+1. It isn't over until it's over.

Sweeeeet! I've done Avic "avic" before, but versi is a new species on me... how high should i have the humidity?

 

[UrbanJungles]

I did best with a "Hammock style" incubator, a self contained tall deli cup. I never measured the humidity but it kept it relatively high. It's basically the same way I incubate every species so if you did well with A. avic. then you should be golden. Treat them the same way.

then..."Poof"

You wake up to a whisp of neon blue in the cup.

Excellent danny, i will try the hammock style. That's what i did with a couple sacs before, never thought it really mattered.

i guess it is better to use with species that need more humidity. or, at least it makes it easier to maintain humidity, i should say.

I'll try it and see what happens!
