Holothele incei breeding project :D Pulled eggsack 13/06/2012!

Everything went pretty peacefully









Temperature in my room: 25 celsius

Will update as mother lays sack etc.

It's a sweet love story from those great captures!

Thanx:) Mated them again today. The female have gotten fatter so she most likely is already gravid ^^

She webbed herself in 2 days ago so she is definately gravid

Congrats! Keep us updated.

Found her with eggsack today, only 21 days after the first intrudoction of the male! It was a pretty big one considering her size.

Here is a bad pic. Didnt wanna disturb her too much


I have a bad feeling considering she laid it so fast, I've heard their gestation period is about 2 months. Also, her enclosure is pretty wet so there's high risk of mold =/

Anyone have any inputs on weather the sack might be good or not?


EDIT: I think it might be good as I read a little and found out that people have had success with gestation periods from 20 days and upwards ^^

EDIT2: Wow, read about one guy that got 119 slings from a mom with a 14 day gestation period. Also read about one that dropped after 11 days. Thats CRAZY fast! I might just get to mate her a couple more times before my male dies !

Congrats!

Are you going to leave the Eggsack with the female and start a communal or are you going to separate them?

Im going to take the sack in 9 days because so many are interested in buying some. I will mate her again 2-4 weeks after i have taken the sack.

If I dont take like 20 slings or so to make a communal from this sack, I will take the whole next sack and put it in a big communal enclosure :cheer:

Only a little more than 20 eggs with legs =/ Some of them were feasting on siblings.

Congrats!

Thanks Pretty disappointing as my first successfull tarantula breeding tho =/

They started molting 2 days ago
