Very cool, congrats. I'm in the midst of trying my hand at breeding this species as well. Interesting enclosure you have there. Don't mess with it too much, heaven forbid she decides to have a 'sac lunch' with that eggsac so exposed to flashlights and peering eyes!

I have her covered up and check her every 48-72 hours via flashlight. I'm thinking about buying a red light, but I'll just cheep out and get red suliphane to wrap around the light LOL

Soo eggciting lol . That's a nice size diversipes sac ! There are flashlights and head lamps that come with white , red , and black light . So you can have all three in one .

Egglegscent! I hope you've laid plans for those slings, because taking care of that many isn't what it's cracked up to be!

Yep they will be on the classifieds once they hit 2i.

And yeah it can be exhausting to feed that many. Can't imagine how I'm going to do it when I have the n tripepii sac!

But this is my second sac from avicularia genus, I'm pretty pumped about having a terrestrial brood in the future!

Congrats. These guys are among my top favorites in the hobby. I love all the stages of change they go through, and that they seem a lil bit different from other avics (personality wise).
I really need to take the plunge and jump back into this hobby. Im tired of viewing from afar and not checkin on my own

Woke up to a nice surprise this morning. Opened up the incubator just to check it out and BAM, had a little 2nd instar on my hand :)

First day of being 2nd instar and already causing trouble :)
