Exciting night for me!

This is my first attempt at breeding and it looks like I may have had a successful go at it, got my first of 7 healthy eggs pipping tonight. Cute little head, I can't wait to see more of him. My guess is enchi pastel.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d44c77e272.jpg

How did you incubate them. You make your own?

For this first clutch I just setup a homemade incubator. It's just a cooler with a bunch of water bottles and a strip of heat tape. Then the egg box has water and vermiculite covered by lighting crate. Temp is controlled by a herpstat. I had it set at 87.2 in the incubator and that kept it at about 88-89 in the egg box. Humidity was 99%. First pip was on day 49, quite a bit earlier than I was expecting. He's out now on day 51 and looks perfect. 4 other heads are sticking out of eggs now but no one else seems ready to come out yet lol.

Haha, I hear you. I'm not able to see into my incubator so I have to open it all up to see them. Since I dont want to disturb them too much, I limit myself to peek on them only 2 times a day, morning and evening. My incubator for future clutches has a nice big glass door so I can view all 10 clutches it will hold :D

That's it, super simple and cheap. Only thing that cost me anything was the herpstat, everything else I had in my garage. Plus some leftover heat tape from when I made my racks. It's pretty simple but worked great.

So the first out is a 68g female, I believe she is enchi spider.

It's amazing how beautiful even the simplest morphs are. It's going to be hard letting go of these guys. I may have to keep my favorite even though I have no use for anything from this clutch in my future projects, I just feel the sentimental value in my first clutch makes it worth keeping just one.

Thanks! Yep, I love that head stamp and it's also why I believe she is enchi spider, not just spider because that head stamp clover is pretty signature for enchi.

#2 is a stinging bumble beehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...61609fc3db.jpg

Their amazing, I love the spider gene! I feel like I would have a hard time letting go of all of my first clutch too :P

Next two out are a bumble bee and a spider I believe. The spider gene sure is dominant in this clutch so far!

Beautiful clutch !!! Awesome!! I think they are gorgeous even before they shed, but just wait until they have their "new skin" :) Congrats !!!
