Spider clutch out... TINY babies!!

My first clutch of the season is out of their eggs.
2.0 normals
0.3 spiders
Super happy since I got my 2 female spiders that I was wanting to holdback. Anyways, they're all super tiny hatchlings. One of the normals and one of the spiders were in boob eggs, but the rest were in normal sized eggs. Their weights range from 22grams for the runt normal to 48grams for the larger spider. I just found it strange that the whole clutch turned out mini sized:rolleye2:

Thanks for looking!

Woah! Awesome babies. :D

Thanks, I'm really pleased with how they turned out! The spider on the right is a definite holdback, I'm still debating on which of the other two I should keep though. I have one more spider x reduced pattern normal clutch that I'm really excited about. That one should be out in a couple of weeks so maybe I'll get an even nicer female in that clutch to keep as well!:gj:

Nice looking Babies, congratulations. :gj:

I like that clutch. Two of my favorites :)

nice reduced pattern spiders! Congrats!

I always wait untill they start eating to pick. Usually the best eaters right out of the egg continue to eat and grow best for me. Some you keep because they are so nice you have to but when it comes to picking between a few that are real close I'll take the best eater.

Nice clutch! My first clutch was a Spider to a Normal and I got all normals!!! The one on top is the Spider I would keep! She is smokin!!!

Beautiful babies! Congratulations! :gj::gj:

Oh cute little babies. They are soo tiny. Most of my babies come out at 70-80g

Thanks everyone! They are extremely small. I think the smallest ball I hatched last season was 56 grams and every single baby from this clutch is way smaller than that! I'm not sure why though...

The far right spider is absolutely staying here but I'm definitely going to be seeing which of the other two eats better, or if I get some more cool looking female spiders in the next clutch.

I was actually pretty surprised with how reduced these spiders turned out, I had though they'd have a lot more spots on them. I'm glad they don't, but the sire is actually a pretty busy patterned male so I was expecting more of that to show up!

Here's dad

That is weird! They are tiny little things! Do you know what the eggs weighed in the beginning?

Started out with 6 eggs weighing 630 grams. Trust me, I'm just as confused as you. Nothing major happened during incubation, eggs started pipping at day 54 at 88.9 degrees.... just ended up with tiny babies:weirdface

Congrats on the 3 female spiders, the one on the far right, love it. :D

Thats a real nice looking clutch, all of them!

Nice spiders I had always love and wanted A spider or spider morph but for some reason I don't have one in my collection I guess it will be in my short list to get ........CongradsCon your clutch

Nice little clutch. :gj: I'd keep the bottom two Spiders, love their patterns.

was it a new female you had laying, or was it her first season? Just curious if that had anything to do with it. How big was she?

Congrats on your new little ones! :gj:

Those look fantastic. Congrats on the great clutch. The daddy sure is a hottie:gj:

No, this was her second year breeding. All of the hatchlings from her clutch last year were average sized. She went into the season at roughly 3200 grams this year.
Like I said, I've got one more spider clutch to hatch from the same male so we'll see. Maybe it's something on the sire's end, or maybe it's just a fluke!?

Congrats on the clutch:gj:
