[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 107292, member: 3949"] Thanks guys. You're making me blush. I have... 4? 5? something like that of the dyscolus left and they're all doing really well. The other sticky egg sac story is going well. I have about 30 1i from that group now, and am hoping for another 30 or so. It's a Poecilotheria ornata sac, and when I went to pull it I found their mother eating the egg sac. Bad girl! I pulled it and it looked sticky but viable. I tried to wash it off, but with no luck. It wasn't guts on them like the first. I guess it was mom's digestive enzymes or something. I carefully separated the eggs (and a few EWLs) and spread them out on a damp paper towel, but they didn't seem to be able to hatch with the sticky glue-like stuff on them. I actually hatched each of them by hand. I pulled off the paper-thin shells. It was SO nerve-wracking, and I did pop a few (like 5 or something) but in general I think it went pretty well. The 1i are starting to show up, but I've also had some turn black, so it wasn't a perfect success. Can I get some easy sacs now, please? I'm getting tired of having to fight for each baby. Except OBTs. Enough of those. 4 OBT sacs this season is more than I needed! [/QUOTE]
