I might be trying Maternal Incubation..

Last year before we moved, I casually paired my female with my male Spider. I didn't really think much of it..
Now she is showing signs of being eggy. :) She's getting very light, and is taking on the shape that I associate with eggers being in there. She's usually a voracious eater, but did not eat the last time that I offered her prey.
I no longer have my incubator, and I am thinking of just letting her incubate maternally. Any ideas on this? If you've ever done this, please advise me if you will.

too hard on the female & will probly lose the eggs They will dry out. Just make a quik bator.I would never do it myself.

Yeah you'd be a whole lot better off just putting the eggs in a Hova Bator of something else to keep them warm. Way too many factors come into play when you do Maternal Incubation.

there are some do it yourself incubator threads on here. I know that money is tight right now for you but check out some of threads and see if you can do it cheap.

I also remember someone on here did a maternal incubation...(cant think of who that is right now) but maybe do a search and talk to them.

Good luck to you....

I have an extra cooler if that would help I would be willing to send it to you. I know that some have made an incubator out of those. Let me know!

MI is a perfectly legit way to incubate eggs.

I'm going to try it out for myself someday, I'm hoping to keep an eye on your progress, I hope it turns out well!!

This is a very good thread on the pros and cons of Maternal Incubation. I found it very informative, it just takes a while to read through it all.
