Pix of my OBT slings, 87 slings hatched

This thread is 2 days late for posting, i had computer problems.

May 18th 2008 I had bred 3 of my OBT females with my 1 male. Then on June 23rd my biggest female laid a sac.
The sac hatch out on July 15th with 87 slings.

I kept the sac in temps of 80 to 85 dregrees in a romm by itself so nothing can disturb the mother.
I was told to make sure i provide enough moisture for the sac so the slings can have a good chance of not drying out. Once a week i would pour a lilbit of water in a corner of the enclosure.
I didn't do anything special, i just let the mother tend to the sac since this is my first experience of getting a sac to produce.

Here is are 87 slings in a ten gal tank

here is one of the slings, sorry not a great pic


thought this wasa cool looking pic



the best things of this expereince other than my first success of getting a sac produced. My lil 7yr girl Angel helped me to get all the 4oz cups filled with peatmoss and kept me supplied with the cups when i needed another stack as i am placing the slings in them. She was my great lil helper.

Thanks for looking

Holy crap, that's gonna be scary at feeding time in a few months!

Haven't seen you around the forum much . . . good to know you're still being buggy out there.

yeah in about of month feed might be hell, lol, but it's going to be exciting for me.

Reason hadn't been around much is for 4 reasons
1. I have been working at the petshop while looking for another job.
2. Back working on my home for a month now.
3. Since have the new baby around, takes up the rest of the time i have.
(so with all of these, my time was limited)

Oddly to say
4. I was contemplating of leaving the hobby, didn't have the fever for my inverts anymore. Needed new experience of learning.
BUT!!!!!! I have my fever back now. And feeling like i was when i first gotten into the hobby a few years ago.
Now i need to get another pair to breed, plus needing a male regalis for my female.

Wow! lots of babies. How cute that your 7 year old helped you to fill the deli cups.

Hope all is well with the babies and your new baby Trinity
