Just kiddin'.
It would be a good idea to check the breeding reports though, or (yeah, yeah) use the search tool to pull other threads where this same question is asked.

At least it's not a mentally absent question like "How often can I handle my chilean rose hair?".
I pulled my P. striata sack at 25 days. I had 1 bad egg. The other 175-200 (I have not counted them) are progressing nicely. At 25 days, they were all Eggs with Legs.

Like I said, I haven't counted. It's a rough guesstimate going off of my last few sacks. I will email you a photo here in a min.I'd love to see some pictures of a pokie egg sac with 175-200 eggs!
It is from the female that I purchased from you. She is massive. Let me know if you decided to count.

Haha, I got 187, but it was fuzzy and hard to see a few.
Post that pic if you don't mind. I don't have a photobucket account or anything.

Kyle,
How many days did you pull that at? Obviously much earlier than 25.

I guess the point is, the is no real method that's set in stone. Incubation methods and preferences play a huge part in when to pull it, so you'll have to make part of that decision on your own.

What were your temps for hatching, Smitty? I thought 25 was early. Live and learn, huh?
Hmmm, I guess it's ok as long as the fluid has been dried/absorbed or whatever..certainly wouldn't take it on day 1.

My room varies between 78-81 degrees. I have noticed that most of my sacks are 5 days ahead of the average timeline between stages. I'm not certain why, as I believe my temp range is not uncommon compared to others.What were your temps for hatching, Smitty? I thought 25 was early. Live and learn, huh?
I don't care about the size of the sack. Everyone knows it's how long your fingers are that matters.
