Re: Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
Eggs are looking even more hydrated, and Charlotte still has them wrapped well. Hopefully the temporary dehydration didn't harm them at all. Better for them to be slightly dehydrated than to become wet, but either way I'll try setting up my accurite today to see what the humidity is actually at in there. I'll put the probe in the back of the tub if possible, to avoid it getting sprayed.

Re: Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
Yikes!
Today I misted the substrate and refreshed Charlotte's water. She uncoiled when I did this, and I got a picture of some pretty brown eggs.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if this is from the substrate or if there's something wrong with them. Whatever it is, it has me pretty freaked out.
Temperature seems fine at 85-86 degrees. I think Charlotte relaxed her coils in response to the misting. I know that females will usually let bad eggs roll out of the nest, so I am hoping she will continue to incubate them.

Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
Awwwe! Any chance you'd be able to candle them?
I'm reasonably certain that coloration is from the substrate. I know that sphagnum moss dyes eggs like it ain't no thang. They look good, if they were bad they would STINK! And be funky colors like green or pink (that's what I've seen anyways)

I don't want to risk stressing Charlotte out by candling, after that rat incident a few days ago. I think if they are bad she will let them roll out of the nest. They don't seem like they are rotten or bad, they just look like little potatoes or loaves of bread. So far I've got lots of people reassuring me, so I am feeling a bit less freaked out. Just wasn't a good thing to see after having a nightmare about snake eggs last night.

Re: Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
In my very inexperienced and very novice opinion, I'd call those eggs dyed as well. I imagine in the wild it would be an advantage for eggs to pick up the colors of their substrate (whatever that may be) and blend in a little more, even if the snake is tucked away somewhere hidden.
Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

That's a very good point. The ability of the eggs to blend in with their surroundings would probably be helpful for the times when the mother needs to briefly leave the nest.

Maybe next time you feed her you can sneak in while she's constricted, if you're still worried. But I wouldn't be.
And OH tell me about snake-related nightmares. Ugh.

Re: Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
I'm maternally incubating right now as well. When I first candled the eggs, one was mostly yellow, and to my expectations, it went bad. I just took it out today since it was turning blue. However, an egg next to it has a little bit of the bluish color on the top. Is this something to worry about? Also the eggs are right on top of the heat pad. Is that okay?

Should be fine, depending on what temperature the heat pad is.
The blue might just be a little a mold, but hard to say.
