Update on last 3 spiders (Graphic pics)

Tonight when I went in to check on them I could smell something wasn't normal.

So we decided to remove them from the eggs. Two were extremely deformed and kinked. One of those didn't even seem to have formed a head :(

The third one looked to be kinked at the end of its tail. Other then that it was hands down one of the best looking spiders I've seen. (besides Baba G of course).

Here are a few shots of what I found.

Well considering the other four hatched with no problems at all, and these three had never really came out to start to breathe air I am going to chuck it up to nature. I really think at this point it was beyond my control. Even if I had removed them yesterday when I saw movement I would have still ended up with kinked and deformed hatchlings.

I am just thankful for the four healthy ones that made it.

Yeah thats really cool that the others are doing good. Do the others have that axanthic like look?

No.

I ended up with three normals, and one awesome spider.

I agree. Very sorry Susan. At least you know you have a breeder that produces some of the best looking spiders around.

Oh I am sorry to hear that Susan, I know how excited you were about this clutch :hug:

Thanks Jake :hug:

For one second it was almost too much for me to handle, but after taking them out of the eggs I feel I would NOT and could NOT have done anything differently or better for them to have suvirved.

Having the others hatch was a awesome feeling, and these things happen, its a part of life. I am not going to give up!
