Caribena versicolor

[Loopybee85]

Hi all, this is my first post here,

I have recently had a sac from my versi and was wondering what the largest sac size anyone has had or hear of from this species? I’ve seen reports of low 200s ‍

Any numbers you have had or seen would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to a great forum!
How many did you have???

 

[Loopybee85]

Thank you

Well I removed 12 bad eggs from a total of 372 leaving 360 in incubation, I was a little shocked when I counted them lol

congrats

Was this a pairing you did or did you luck out with a gravid female? I have just separated 403 L1 B. albopolisum (true form) into their own separate pots. It's amazing how much space is taken up when they move out of the incubator....LOL. where you based btw? I am NW too. PM me and I may be interested in some of your babies later down the line.

Thanks

This was a pairing I did myself I bought the pair at the beginning of this year and was told the female had already consumed two males in breeding attempts. This is also my very first breeding project of any T so is a massive learning curve.

I paired them twice and witnessed multiple insertions both times then just fed her up again same as pre mating and let her do her thing

They look awesome, one of my partners favourite Ts, we have a couple of slings atm but can never have too many so maybe slings for slings when they’re all ready ‍

 

[Phil]

absolutely. I have loads. I have also recently paired b hamorri. Been trying for about 6 weeks with this pair. I think there were 2 insertions in April and again in this one last week.

I’ve got two A. seemanni females ready to breed but can’t seem to find a Male lol

My Male versi May still be good mate

[Phil]

I am on holiday atm, will check on my versi as I think was in premoult when I left, and if yours still has any mileage left I will come and collect him and sort summat out

 

[Loopybee85]

Sounds good to me mate he’s all loaded up again so hopefully he has some legs left on him. He ate a large locust last night too

That is a lot of work right there! Nice!

I can second that. moved 403 B albopolisum last week (some pics earlier in this thread) the time consuming bit was drilling tiny holes in containers and putting in coco fibre. The babies were a doddle in comparison! LOL.

I had a wild caught Avicularia avicularia drop a sack on me back in 1991. I ended up with 413 slings. She ended up double clutching 6 months later and I got another 115.
