Success with my chromatus sac - 806 babies made it to 2nd instar. Success with the irminia sac - at least 60 (with four or more still in hide with mom) babies at 2nd instar. My big LP female is sitting on a sac, and now my pulchripes female (Queen Titania) laid what looks to be a GINORMOUS sac last night. Watched her start the mat yesterday, and saw as I was leaving last night the silk was getting to the opaque stage.
The sac is so covered in sub I'm not sure of exact size, or anything at all. Guess I'll just wait a few days and see how she moves it around. The last pairing between her and the male, Devarna, was July of 2011. I observed successful pairing on 6-29-11. There were three attempts at pairing, the last time she lit into him and I barely got him out. He's still eating and looks gorgeous as ever.
Fingers crossed!

OHO! She didn't like me taking a photo and is webbing up the front of the cage! LOL! Looking at her butt, it's 1/3 the size it was before she laid. *_*
