I've been waiting months for my X.immanis to throw her sac,and she finally did. It took her 3 days to make the sac,and it's very thick walled. Now if it doesn't get eaten,be infertile,get moldy,ect.,ect. I will have some babies. Here's a pic of her finishing it,she hasn't quite finished in the pic,but it's done now.The sub looks a little dry,but that was because I didn't water her cage while she was making the sac.The waterbowl will not be refilled until I pull the sac.My T room is being kept dimly lit and as quiet as possible,no visitors! I got some great advice from one of the few people who have bred them,thanks,man,you know who you are! So,I have 30 days of anxiety in front of me before I pull.They should be ewls or close to it. 004.jpg

Nice job, but no one really wants this species, you would have been better off breeding a Rose Hair! :clown:

Good luck man, I hope you hatch out some EWLs. What's their sac size usually turn out to be??

I could only find a couple of breeding reports,but believe they fall between 35 and 100 for the most part.They can lay more,probably,but 100 healthy slings seems the upper limit. One guy had a total of 1 survive,lol. Another had 97. My girl is big,in excess of 7" and her booty was huge before she laid,so I hoping for a good sac.

Nice job Shawn! Just getting them to drop is a feat in and of itself! Keep her dark, warm, and quiet. Such a great genus, long lived, hardy, good eaters, always out, and beautiful.

They are similar to theraphosa in regards to offspring. They have around 100 large spiderlings. They are around 3/4" at 2i, which is great because they can take large prey.

I don't want to keep bothering her by taking pics,so I won't post a pic until I pull it,but the sac is easily the size of a golf ball!

Update:I pulled on day 30,I got 111 eggs,11 of which were black.I set them up in an incubator,and have been pulling bad eggs out every day for 5 days.Tonight I found 7 EWLs,and I have about 40+ eggs to go.I'll know more tomorrow,but the breeding was a success! Pics tomorrow.
