    Rich, my wolf spider's egg sac has .....disappeared. What the heck happened to it? I looked all over her cubicle from the outside, but unless she buried it in the substrate I cant find it!

    She must have ate it. :(
    I have had that happen a couple of times.

    I'm not 100% sure why they do it. Stress or if they know its not a good sac..?

    That sucks.

    Maybe it wasn't a good sac....it began to get dark in color that I noticed. I feel bad that it stressed her out that much. I think Im just gonna let her go tomorrow..:(

    If it was turning dark I think it must have been bad.
    I let most of my true spiders go over the weekend :/ I was sick of dealing with fruit flies and felt I wasn't giving them the time they needed.

    My GBB just took another roach off the tongs. Hes started webbing himself a nice little hammock in like 1/3 of his cup. Hes using the two leaves i put in there as anchor point.

    The B. boehmei is a spazzy turd still. I dont think he ate his roach but it crawled down into his cave so i couldn't see. He looks like he already got bigger though. Its weird.

    The B. vagans ate this time. I figured out the art of getting her to eat. She has a hole/burrow thing along the side of the cup. What i did was use a slightly bigger roach and directed him down into it. She looked like this upset her but then i think she realized that he was food and she got him lol.

    Haha nice!

    That's how I feed my vagans, I'll drop a roach into the burrow. :)
    I never tried to feed them with tweezers, I'm always worried they will strike the metal and mess up a fang.

    The B. vagans is big enough so the camera can focus on her, the gbb is still too small. In that last pic you can see the webbing he put down already though. Still waiting to see a molt... :/
    Can you see the dark spot on the vagans rump? Am i wrong or does that make it look like shes due for a molt?

    Yeah as the whole abdomen turns darker, it will be getting closer to a molt. Only one of mine molted so I'm guessing the rest should be getting pretty close.

    So the A. hentzi are heading toward a molt. They are getting darker so I moved them over to their own cups.

    Ill take some pics for ya when i get a chance bro. I lubs scorpions. :D
    I was into them long before i was into Ts. Currently i only have a pair of stripetails. But over the years ive had many black emperors, and a few others. I dont have room for any other species right now, as the ones i have now are pretty small. I just put them together, so im hoping theyll make me some tiny babies in the future ;)

    Wow those are cool. I really like the black light pics.
    In guessing they are pretty docile?

    Thanks for posting pics :)

    I would look up what spectrum of light of light they see and what the black light gives off.
    I have some millipedes that glow but have not done it yet.

    Looks like some if the A. hentzi have made it to 2i :) :) :)
    Haven't checked them all but I looked in on a few random cups. They are still very tiny.

    I'll get some more pics when I pick a night to feed.

    When it comes to an irminia, there is always room in the wish list.
    A favorite for sure.

    Very fast and a great looking species. Not as nasty of a bite as some (not that I would want to test that out)

    One that I think I will always have in my collection.

    Haha that vagans is plump.

    Wait until that GBB gets some size, the webbing is going to be awesome!

    Looks like the C. darlingi are going to be great webbers too. Their little cups are full of web.

    YES FINALLY. I was gone all day babysitting my sick sister and finally got home and happened to glance at the T's just now before i went to bed. The shelf theyre on is in the corner of my room so its a bit dark. I was like "huh my vagans has some condensation in her cup. I wonder if she flipped her water cap over?" Then i noticed she looked kinda glossy lol. Then i shined the flashlight and saw this!!!! :D
    http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/22/e9a3eje2.jpg

    As she hardens will her colours change a bit more? Because right now her body is pretty pink and her legs are a cool ghostly blue/grey color.

    EDIT: soooo sick.
