Ups and downs of spider breeding
Brachypelma klaasi
I was really hoping our first attempt at B. klaasi would be successful. This is the second female to lay. The first dropped a lopsided eggsac that didn't make it. This is the second. Everything looked good, but failed again. We have one more to go. But if the next girl drops a dud eggsac too there is always next year.

Psalmopoeus irminia:
I have some poor luck with this species. Only about half the eggsacs are successful. This one was one of the bad ones. We have two others incubating now so hopefully some of the others are good.

Now the good part.
Heteroscodra maculata:
I really like this species. They're common but they'll always be a favorite.

Of course you can't go wrong with more pokies.

Re: Ups and downs of spider breeding
Hopefully the next girl is successful for you :). But hey at least you got a couple other egg sacks in return for the other two failed ones? :gj:
