Unexpected treasure

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Hello
My Brachypelma vagans has an eggsack, saw her start it and finish. Now im trying to read as much as possible, my first ever. So any and I mean any advice, would be much appreciated.

after about 3 week move the eggs to a incubater. To do that you very carfuly cut open the sac again carefull not to hurt any eggs. make sure to check in on them make sure theres no mold starting. Also see hom many egg there are to see how many deli cups youll have to get. Remove any bad eggs they will mold and kill the rest if left in.To see how to make a incubater and one bad eggs look like you can go to youtube.

Dont you think that 21 days is extremely early to pull the sac for this species ?
Pulling the sac this early will only result in getting eggs but if the sac was pulled a few weeks later there would be a much higher chance that there wil be EWL's.
Brachypelma eggs are slow developers compared to many species, many people (myself included) pull Brachy sac's somewhere between 30 and 40 days depending on the temperature.

Thanks a lot so far, may I dare to ask whats the success rate when left with the mother ? I so just dont want to make a mess of it, or is it not advisable ?

Very few people these days leave the egg sac with the mother, most people will pull the sac (for most species) at around 30 - 35 days. This will generally result in EWL's (eggs with legs) or N2's (nymph stage 2) it is relatively easy to keep these in a homemade incubator until they moult into slings.

Sheesh, I will try and look at the youtube videos. At least, I have a bit of time.

After 3 week the egg have been rolled if the mother did her job. I have know sevral people that pull all sac at 3 week to one month and have alot of sucsses
