update: they never developed - weren't fertile unfortunately

[@elainebines6803]

Thank you for update

[@ebrahimM-x4g]

They weren't fertile at all or u opened the eggsac too soon? I opened an OBT eggsac too soon like 17-18 day after layed, and some of the eggs are with legs and the others not. Im wondering if other ones that dont have legs can make it or not?

You'll either get bebby spiders or silica gel beads.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I feel like this is a perfect time to follow the Snake Discovery mantra "incubate til there's no debate". You really have nothing to lose, so might as well give it a shot! I hope you get some babies!!👼🕷

[@jewels964]

Haha I love snake discovery..she is really smart gal!

[@tarantulakat]

That’s the plan! I made my own little contraption and I think if they are viable /fertilized they have a great shot 😊

[@imogenbrown6019]

l love snake discovery

[@dldarby82]

From the color of the eggs, I don't think they're viable, but I like Snake Discovery's saying: "incubate until there's no debate." Fingers crossed they are, A. anax is my favorite local spider, I have one living under my rosemary bushes.

[@jamielovesjohn]

I love how even though you're an advanced keeper, you're willing to reach out to others who may have more knowledge than you in a certain area. Also, I love that Dayyan was so helpful and game to be part of your content.

[@dyldrk]

I have been alive 23 years and have yet to see a chipmunk in real life… what am I doing wrong?! LOL

[@tarantulakat]

Probably not feeding them 😅

[@marzipanmango]

If you keep a bird feeder you'll often get squirrels and chipmunks foraging for food underneath, at least if you live in a region with chipmunks :P

[@amandarobb2856]

Dave's Beasties is a FANTASTIC KZbin channel for anything tarantula. He is a reputable breeder in the UK and is a plethora of information. He very clearly demonstrates the "trampoline " method mentioned. I strongly and respectively recommend giving his channel a glance. Thanks and praise from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

[@kristielt5396]

How exciting. I really hope they develop just so we can go on this journey with you.

[@tarantulakat]

me too 🥺

[@markstone918]

Good luck with the eggs and babies!!!

[@rebelicious4076]

Honestly they look good to me... My avic avic eggs looked just like that when I opened the sack and they all turned into eggs with legs within a week. So hopefully they do well!

[@ItsSlyFox]

From my experience, every sac develops differently. If I'm ever producing with a species I'm not too familiar with, I'll go on arachnoboards, or ask someone who has produced a successful sac. 30 days is the average recommended time to wait, but I've had species take almost 2 months to hit ewls. I've also had some even hatch before 30 days. It's always a good idea to do some research on said species, to get an average production rate to be better prepared. I also recommend splitting them up into different cups, so they're not clumped together. This helps with them not sticking together, and if there are any bad eggs, not spread mold to each other. Another tip I have, is with an incubation setup, it creates a lot of humidity, which can cause mold, which will attract mites and flies. You can either seal the the cup, or use a trap that will entice them more.

[@taylorgarton6983]

Good luck, Kat! If these end up not being fertile, don’t worry- you will have a healthy egg sac in no time because I know how dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable you are. Lots of trials and errors keepers go through when it comes to breeding, but you learn from something new each and every time! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻🤟🏼

[@tomandalontheroad]

So exciting Kat. Hope you have success with the eggs. You've really got me thinking about spiders that I come across in my daily travels. I certainly look at spiders differently now, thanks.

[@mtndan6969]

Maybe that is why she took them out of the hide, she knew they don't need to be as humid (?) and would be eggs with legs and first instar soon enough? I'm sure you will have great success! Can't wait to see how it all goes!

[@khaosandlightliberation1980]

I love your phrasing to ask the guys their opinions without making them feel sh&t. That’s something that should be always commonplace, going to multiple sources and being allowed to just choose what you think is best. Or choosing what you even originally thought, or coming up with a new idea from a mix of everyone’s ideas. Life is a mix of BS. We’re all doing a mix of guessing, using somewhat proven results (due to ever changing variables- life isn’t ever stable if we’re being honest), and experiments. It’s what keeps living magical and worth actually going through.

[@russemusique]

Thank you for documenting this kind of stuff! I have a few females that I'm waiting for them to drop sacs, and it's so helpful to see people go through different scenarios just in case! 💖

[@jenshelley4737]

Good luck Kat!! I've got my fingers crossed that they develop !!!🤞🤞🤞

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

I've done tgis on accident with a P. Irminia, I ended up losing alot of eggs that first looked good. Then only about 11 made it to 3rd instar. But she double clutched, the second sac was smaller and only had 3 bad eggs.

[@stitchinstella2425]

I love that they all had different answers for you 😆 hoping you get a fun adventure out of this though!

[@Dj.Siner_BPS_Exotics]

Deli cup idea is what works for us once we've pulled the sac for the most part it's just keep it clean and humid not wet at all but definitely humid

[@myacentia4732]

Just laid on my bed watching this and a house spider is running over my covers, it was a very big one. It's getting cold hear in the UK and they come inside. Also I'm deffo not ready for a pet spider/tarantula, I screamed so much and at a very high pitch 😅 Awesome video kat.

[@Solitude11-11]

A lot of people that keep tarantulas aren’t keen on big house spiders running on them! Also a lot of tarantula keepers are ex arachnophobes 😄 I’m in the uk too, and starting to get spiders wandering inside. Keep telling them I don’t have any lady house spiders living here but they don’t believe me.

I would have just put some dirt in a deli cup. Put them in there after I had some more soil and close it up in a well ventilated cup. Of course that I could see through and watch, but that sucks that it was unviable that would have been so exciting

All so stressful!! I'm stressing with my jumping spider, I couldn't image the stress with a tarantula! My jumping spider babies all left the nest in two waves this week and I found I was woefully unprepared! Got 100 of them contained most in separate little containers but the fruit flies I ordered won't be here for another couple of days and I'm worried about losing them now because of that! feels like chaos!

[@Grim_Haunting]

After 30 days though they look a lot better than what I would suspect if they didn't have anything going on with them. I haven't gotten any eggs from my Ts yet but other invertebrates and reptile eggs that are not viable start to typically turn after a week or 2 and the moms usually will eat them at that point. I would say that there is still hope with those.

Can you record in 4K?

[@calukatastrophe]

Sorry not sorry but I prefer jumping spiders to tarantulas they are way cuter. Tarantulas are scary. In my opinion their only redeeming factor is they don’t like you as much as you don’t like them so they will tend to avoid you, too, as long as you leave them alone. I mean there are some species that I can tolerate more than others like those homeoma ones cause they aren’t that hairy looking but the hairy stuff on tarantulas is what bothers me the most- idk to me it makes them look more threatening. I also just don’t like how big they are or that they could eat mammals depending on the size.
