A. Geniculata gestation

[Doozer]

We just had our first experience with pairing of tarantulas. Man was it an awesome experience. I am wondering how long the normal gestation period is for A. Geniculatas. And when should I pull the egg sack if the pairing was successful.

Usually around 4 months. After they lay the sac, you should pull it at day 30 and incubate until they all reach second instar. I would separate at first instar to avoid cannibalism. You can feed them 4-7 days after they reach 2nd instar.

Thank you very much for the info.
