Hello everyone.This is my first breeding, on September 18 my female spider laid 4 eggs and one slug.The father was pastel mojave. I put the clutch in an egg box with vermiculite in the incubator.The temperature in the incubator was 87.8-88.3 degrees. The ratio of vermiculite to water was 1:1. I put the eggs in small pits in the vermiculite. One egg during the incubation was a little moldy and I used a powder against fungus.On day 59 of incubation I saw that 2 eggs was pipping. One of them baby showed his head.I decided to cut the eggs.I made neat incisions but the babies did not move except for one egg. I left them in the incubator.The next day the baby from one egg came out and I decided to see the rest.I gently touched the babies in the eggs with a blunt object, but they did not move. I gently looked inside the eggs and tried to get the heads out, I did this but they still wouldn't move.I also found that 3 of the four eggs had pipped.The babies were fully developed and were trying to pip. What could have gone wrong? Any advice I can think of.
