Different angle of the eggsac...

Most of the eggs went bad, I do not know yet how many made it... but not much... maybe 30 max...

Ah well, I have another gravid female waiting to pop...

Unfortunatly, I expect this H. lividum eggsac to be infertile...

We shall see in a week or so...

Here is my Holothele incei Stallion!LOL

He is with it's third female right now... lucky bugger... after this one, he still have one to go...

As you can see, mature males if this species are much paler... almost whitish...

Enjoy

Martin

Congrats Tarcan! Those slings are really cute. What ssp are the little ones?

Oh, yeah, interesting forgotten detail!LOL

They are A. avicularia, so no need for everyone to get hyper excited... does not mean they are not a nice species, it is just that they are super easy to breed...

But... my male A. huriana just matured and my two females are ready... this is a VERY good reason to be excited! (for me at least, as they are by far my favourite species of the avicularia genus...)

There ya go, Erin!
You can get 5 baby pinktoes in Sally's memory, and name them all after a letter in her name! You're bound to get another long-lived female or two out of the group!

Congrats, congrats Mr. Gamache! Beautiful photos and nice events! The pic of the incei is gorgeous. What a nice spider.

I am curious though.
If the lividum was mated, and she made a sac before molting, why do you think it may be infertile?

Well, it could, I have not witnessed actual insertion, I was too tired and went to sleep, got tired of waiting!LOL Lazy me!LOL But the female was responsive at first... it is the munched male the next day that hints me!LOL

And the other problem is that this female was in a cool part fo my room as I do not keep my H. lividum vextremely warm, and I found her with the sac... but only a few days at cool Temp can prove fatal for the eggs...

Anyway, I still hope...

Martin

Good stuff Martin! Good luck on your Holothele matings and your H. lividum's eggsac! *fingers crossed*

I agree with you on the A. avics. May not be a rare species but a cool one nonetheless. What method did you use for the eggsac? Was your survival ratio decent for your method of incubation? Still trying to figure out the best incubation. Maternal or Hammock-style! If I had the dough, I'd build that automated turner thingamajiggy!

Vanan,

I always remove the eggsac from the mother after about two weeks... I do not like the hammock style either... I keep the eggs in the sac, but incubate the whole sac... I find removing the eggs from the sac puts them vulnarable to dehydration, fungus, etc.

The bad eggs were already bad when I removed the sac from the female (I always open the sac to check, but stitch back... always useful to be an embalmer... I am good at stitching!LOL)...

The male I used was very old, and I wonder if that could be the reason, who knows... this same female gave me about 80 slings at her previous molt and none eggs were bad in the first place (I screwed up in making incubation experiements, there might have been 120 in the first place)... I have another mated female with the same male... I am looking forward to the ratio of good and bad eggs...

Take care

Martin

Congrats on the babies They are adorable!

I think that avic slings are the cutest T slings ever. With those little black boots and fuzziness, I don't think they can be topped in the cute category! lol

Hmmm, I think I need to get me some more! 1 avic sling is not enough and he/she is growing pretty fast!
