checked on my bug this morning and its abdomen is mostly transparent so i can see what appears to be a bunch of eggs. what are my chances at these being fertile?

How long have you had it in your collection?

If it was wild caught the chances are fairly good that the eggs may be fertile.

Other than that I can't be too much help. I have seen a gravid solifugid once, but it died soon after it was received.

Good luck!
