Latrodectus bishopi eggsac hatched

[Canth]

Man I'm so excited...Came home from school to find 6 red gems in the delicup :D I'm hoping more will come out, but hey. 6 is more than none. They're also a lot bigger than the hesp slings I'm used to. Pics to come soon, I'm waiting to see if more hatch before I disturb them.

awesome man

i wonder if they were selfculling in the sac and you are giong to get a smaller number of more advanced slings?

this is one species i am VERY glad to see making its way in the hobby. it has all too little native habitat left and would be tragic to lose completely

[Canth]

No more yet. Tomorrow I'll open it and see what's up. For now, pics!

Cute! Is this one of the sacs that you said didn't darken much?

[Canth]

The very one. This is my only sac and I'm hoping I can keep all the babies alive to adulthood and breeding. How're yours doing?

The same. I think I might take a peek inside of the two that I've removed.

One female cut her second sac out of the web. That doesn't seem too good...

Great to see! :clap: You should be able to keep them together for a few molts. Feed em well ...chunks of good stuff and some fflies for the ones that want that fight. ;)

Good news! I opened the sac and 5 more came out :D So that's a total of 11 and I still see some in the sac. But I'm gonna let them calm down before I rip it open more

Hope you get more little red gems!
