    66 days total, I think it took a lil longer because I didn't had stable temps, I was using a thermostat and its getting a lil cold here in Puerto Rico so I was getting temps around 87 during the day and as low as 83 during the night. the humidity was always around 70% but once it started getting colder at the end of October i had to start misting the area to keep it above 58%

    but it was an awesome experience watching the process the natural way. and the longest 2 months ever lol.

    PICS! finally

    ok so out of 6 eggs 2 came out on their own and 1 i help him to get out, there are still 3 in their eggs but i think they are going to be out by tomorrow.

    this is the one i helped getting out of his egg, it was the eggs that was smashed on top of the clutch and it lost some fluid before even pippin out, this morning the egg was to dry inside and i cut most of the egg and he came out. he is looking good and I think I am going to keep this one.

    this are the other 2 that got out.

    ok so now, how long before they feed, most people here and at the pet center have told me after their first shed which usually takes? 2 weeks or so?


    and thanx to everyone who helped along the way and to Quiet tempest for his useful thread (maternal incubating) and pms.

    Its amazing so many people doubt maternal incubation but it seems it can work out just fine =)

    Congratz on the babys :)

    Now to get u some morphs and start breeding :)

    If i was u i would pick up a male spider (around $125) and next year breed it to that same female u will get 50% spiders and 50 pct normals =)

    1 to 2 weeks to shed, then the fun comes on trying to get them to eat. some might take instant some might takes weeks!! I had to start essist feeding 1 of 8 because she would eat once every 4-5 weeks and was loosing ALOT of weight.

    Oh, and is the snake in that top single pic realy that light??? nice! if so I would keep a eye on that one and see if you might want to breed it to a nice pastel and get some realy nice light pastels! and pastels are realy cheap as babys!
  • 11-20-2010, 07:47 PM
    darkolako

    Glad to see healthy babies coming out and I'm glad you found my threads useful! I'm a girl, though. :P

    That is soo cool to read and see pics!!
    Cant wait for mine to get up to breeding weight

    Love those fat babies! I suggest getting a digital kitchen scale and weighing the babies. It will be your baseline weight. This will help you gauge their health when you're starting to feed. Sometimes it takes a while before they eat so the weight will help you decide whether to attempt assist feeding or just wait them out.

    Congratulations!
