Congrats on the pairings. Too bad about your male, but hopefully he will provide sustenance for his babies.

 

[ipreventdeath]

Haha, I like that idea.

Poor Apollo. Hope you get loads of babies after all that.

Yeah, it's one of those things. I'm hoping to get two good sacks out of it, though I don't think I'll pull and incubate anything. I'll just let them handle their business and see how it goes.

Good luck!

The picture of Athena watching cracked me up.

Good luck!

Thanks, bast!

The picture of Athena watching cracked me up.

Haha, I found it very odd and had to grab a shot. It cracked me up as well

Well it seems that after two months of not eating and nearly three months since being bred, Athena decided to seal up her burrow and line the outside with silk. Inside she appears to laying down a thick mat. Hopefully this is the sack about to be dropped.
If this near 90day schedule remains the same for Artemis, she should drop a sack within the first week of August.

Now I need to work on an incubator...

 

[ipreventdeath]

Or I could just leave it. Either way...

 

[harleyqueen]

Thats so exciting and brilliant. Best of luck.

 

[ipreventdeath]

Well no sack yet... The webbing is still there, but she's just sitting in the burrow.

Haven't been on here for a while; I've been crazy busy. Just wanted to update the progress. Both pairings are appearing to be negative. Athena decided she would molt a couple of weeks ago (the second time in 8months or so) and Artemis looks to be in premolt. No sacs this time around.

Uh oh, that's no good. I mated 2 females as well. One a month after she molted so I hope it's good. The other one I have no idea where she is in her molt cycle. She also stopped eating so I don't have high hopes for that one.

Oh what a shame
