Clutch #1, spider x lesser

First clutch, 6 eggs, 2 were slugs. The last 4 eggs did go full term and 4 healthy babies are out of the eggs. Was hoping for some lesserbees but good luck next year, ended up with 1.0 normal and 1.2 spiders. Will be keeping one of the spider girls, liked their pattern so can't complain :)

The Spider at the bottom right with it's head in the bottom left corner is a keeper. Congrats! :gj:

Yep, and that's the female I'll be keeping :) Looking forward to their first shed, she seems to be a bit lighter than her siblings.

Wanted to update this thread with some pics of the hatchlings after shed.

I probed the females, and found out that only one of them actually was a female... The other one was just a male who was hard to pop... Fortunately the keeper-female was the only female :)

Some pics, the normal male, have no idea what's going on with his nose, seems like a bit of shed but this appared a few days after shed. Hope it disappears after next shed;

Nice clutch, sucks about the slugs.

I like that female spider as well, and I bet you're glad she's actually a female and didn't turn up to be a male. lol

If that female had been a male I would be very disappointed :P Didn't get the lesserbee AND if all had been males, woah... That would have been sad. Very happy with the female, I have another spider female, but this one is way prettier :)

Aww I'm sorry you missed the 2 gene, but that's a nice looking spider you're keeping. Congrats!

Congrats on the clutch! Youll get the 2 gene next year, I know it!

Very nice spider! Congrats!

Thanks, hope I get my first 2-gene animals from the clutch I have cooking in the 'bator... who's your daddy x mojave - 6 eggs :)
