    Hope she lays before she molts! Did you get to see him make sperm webs?
    Can't wait until I get these versi and irminia together.

    No I didn't get to see him do it but I did see the aftermath. He had them destroyed. I'd find piles of torn up webbing in the mornings. I was told that's what it was. I've never been through this process before.

    Congrats on the breeding; hopefully all goes well

    From previous posts, you incubate spider eggs too?? The moms aren't good enough??

    From my understanding most people leave the sac with the mom for about a month then remove it. Take the eggs out of the sac and finsh them in an incubator. Its to improve the # of survivors I think.

    It probably cuts down on the number of baby spiders escaping and infesting your house too.

    Could you imagine a house being infested with full grown LPs lol? Or like OBTs?

    If you use the one inch vents instead of air holes then the babies can't really escape.

    Very true. Better ventilation too.

    lol well i'm hoping to go into my room some day and find an adult red knee or pumpkin patch hanging out. had 3 of the red knees escape and a PP bolted on me and I never found him so..... i've always got crickets running loose and the meal worms and super worms dont have lids on the containers so its very well possible for them to make it for a while. lol

    Yay!! The versicolor who was only fed crickets finally took her first roach!! She's only accepted mealworms until now. Hooray!

    My H. mac sure is a psycho about food. I handed it a roach on tweezers and it grabbed it and then was flailing it's legs and freaking out because I didn't let go fast enough.
