Aww they look so adorable! :)
Don't they? :p

Congratz man, nice to se some good looking eggs with legs;)
Thanks, Thomas. :)

Sweet man!...looks like you'll have some 1i's any day now!
Today, actually! :D

Are you making a breeding report to include temps, humidity, etc? Congratulations!!! They look great :)
Yep, I'll try and post what I remember. :)

Congrats, how many did you get?
Definitely my favourite, whilst my metallica grow up :)

I had a sac earlier in the year but it had problems. 50 eggs but I managed to salvage 20 slings, doing rather nicely now.

Mine were lowland and Im hoping to breed again over the weekend.
I think the number is between 50-60 but I'm not sure. I haven't taken an exact count. Good luck with your breeding. :)

Cool, I pulled mine after 22 days. :)

More importantly, did she lay it in less then 40 days?

ROFL!

If so, that sac isn't gonna be any good...you should just send those slings to me so I can *cough*cast them in resin*cough*. :rolleyes:

I'll have P. subfusca slings for sale soon, PM me with offers. This is in no way, shape, or form, related to this thread at all, ever. *wink wink*

How big is your female?
I think she's somewhere around 5.5-6".

I don't remember exact dates but I'm pretty sure the last pairing happened in August or September.

ROFL!

Sweet! :D

Almost all of them from this incubator have made it to 1st instar. The other incubator is lagging a little behind with only about 1/2 of them making it to 1st instar so far.

Nice! Interesting that Pokies have that extra stage. The EWLs really do look like someone just superglued a mite to a ball. {D

Thanks, but subfusca doesn't have that extra stage you're referring to. That's specific to only a few pokies, not the genus as a whole.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. It doesn't make sense that there's the extra instar, even if it was specific to the entire genus. Since it's not, it makes even less sense.

*** hint hint
I probably won't be selling any of the slings but there are plenty of other people who have slings available in the classifieds. As of right now I'm only parting with a few to a few friends and what not. Most of what I get from this sac is going to be reared up communally. I might sell a few juvies or sub-adults down the road but that's about it. Thanks for the interest though. :)

Jason,
I have 8 communal tanks 20+ in each, I found P.subfusca are one of the best communal poecs that is, its a pleasure to see them interacting with each other, and they pile up on each other like kittens and hunt in packs like wolves

Congratulations on success,
I have lowland with first instar hatchlings now
