Egg sac or nah

[spodermin]

Take your vote, my girl slimmed out but it all happened so fast Idk if she dropped or just molted. Hard to say because Im so used to looking at this dingy male while shes been sealed inside so naturally she looks brighter, but I havent noticed a change in size. She is, however, much more aggressive as of late, furthering my suspicion that this white mass is a sac.

Looks rather sacky to me

I agree with @Metalman2004. Especially if she's your obt, because I think they do stick them to the side like that

Looks like a sac to me. When you asked a few months ago if you could pair them I mentioned that I just bred 3 females. 2 of them laid similar sacs after about a month.

Shes going to have a hard time rolling it...

So pull it and start doing so myself? What would you do if it were you?

They don't move their sacks around. They lay fixed sacks but they do guard them constantly. When it's time to pull it you'll have to cut it away from all the hammock suspending it to the wall. Im pretty sure people have had ewls after around 30 days but the guys above can tell you for sure.

As far as I’m aware egg sacs are rolled to prevent eggs from sticking to each other and to regulate heat. It isn’t about guarding it. I’m not experienced with breeding thou like you and others on the forum so can only say what I’ve seen.

 

[Metalman2004]

They do indeed move the sac around and they aren’t typically attached to anything. I’ve seen a couple of mine even take their sac for a stroll.

 

[Jess S]

Then I stand corrected as I always was under the impression that obts laid fixed egg sacks

So you'd pull this? Hers is definitely fixed

I think there is some confusion because you never said what species. Obts absolutely lay hammock style sacs that are permanently fixed

Ah, phew. I didn't even realize I never said it, but yes OBT

You’re correct. Baboons lay hammock egg sacs. They don’t get rolled bc they are attached to enclosure, etc.

 

[Arachnoclown]

Well....now all of the sudden it's a baboon. That would have been a nice piece of information to know at the beginning of the thread.

 

[Arachnoclown]

@spodermin Depending on what your temperatures have been. @ 28 days is when I pull all my sacks.

She has webbed so much outside the burrow. Here she is seen this afternoon just outside the opening
