Emergency!!!!!!

I have my only spider of the year with a knotted embilicus. It has climbed out of the egg however the embilicus is tied in a knot and there is still yolksack attached which is still in the egg. What do I do?

Here is a great thread by Deborah. I've never had to do this, but I'd follow her story if I ever needed to. Good luck! Keep us updated.

OK, it's done. Just like the link said to do. Here's a couple of post procedure pics.

m glad to be a member ! best of luck with the baby it now has the best odds it could have hoped for .... way to go team :gj:

Great news first, The little spider is doing well. Now the bad news, All of it's clutch mates had the same problem and died in the egg. What would cause this to happen to an entire clutch? I am so stressed right now over this. This was my first year with success and then this happens.

(did the eggs roll at any point?) sorry buddy, wow that's terrible :-(
