New pink toe sling

[Seamus]

There is no water dish as it's too small but I put water droplets on side of enclosure and on fake plant. The set up is probably identical to the last one but not as tall and it webbed on the cork bark

I've had the sling for about 4months

3 days is a long time to be on the ground... add a water dish if you can

Been hanging female crickets from their ovipositors (egg tubes) and haven't seen our Avic take one down yet so I set up a web cam and got her in the act. It was awesome!

Posted this in media but it deserves to be here too

Hi just a quick update on my avicularia sling. Came home from work and found my avicularia sling had moulted on the substrate and is now on its cork bark

Sweet baby jeebus that's good news!

So relieved to see him/ her doing well

Fed the avic, dangling cricket style for a change lol

She noticed and reacted to the cricket immediately, but waited an hour or so to take it.
Guess she was waiting for the cricket to tire itself out

Caught her drinking this morning

I wasn't able to get the camera closer but she was "face deep" into the water dish and moved before I could get a better angle.

Nice!
It’s so basic but they never do it so it’s surprising haha
I caught my male G porteri the other day drinking !

I gave him the water few Hrs before this photo I don’t understand how he gets so much substrate in it

Been a minute since you updated this thread

She's webbed up her enclosure like mad, hard to see her in there actually

And she flipped over today and is now mid-molt

I think she's an import... I'm more of a Chevy guy myself

Picked up a loaner MM from a local TF member (@Kenmoore94) for my lady. Here he is in an efficiency suite

He made 2 sperm webs in there, you can see one all balled up

I docked his-n-hers enclosures yesterday and it was mostly a day of separate corners

She was much more curious to see him than he was to see her

After a full 24 hours of playing hide and seek, I caught him webbing in the corner this morning

And now he's making pizza dough

Tonight's your night, bro

Noticed a dead feeder in the water dish this morning and went to investigate

Found her sitting on a sac

Set timer for 28 days to pull and incubate

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Pulled the sac today, no EWLs yet and only 7 duds

I count around 100 eggs, maybe a few more

Here are the peppercorns, err, duds

I'll keep an eye on them over the next few weeks

 

[octanejunkie]

Here are a few close ups of the eggs turning into EWLs

If you watch them for a few mins under the microscope you can see the EWLs move, it's amazing!
