@choytabu666 sexual dimorphism in certain species. usually mas dagko ug lubot ug ulo ang babae. ang lalake pud naay hooks sa 1st pair of legs nya mura boxing gloves and iyang pedipalps. pero applicable ra na sa mga adult, kung gamay pa gali, sa molt jud ka mutan-aw, imong pangitaon murag dila-dila sa iyang slit sa tiyan. pag post ug picture, akoy tag ana.

@RichMenAreEvil even if we left the sack to hatch with her (providing she doesnt eat it), the spiderlings will tear out of the sack and live with her. she cant eat them though because they are tooo small for her to catch. they may be cannibalistic but they are not bad. they only do what they need to do to survive. they are very fragile creatures.

to address your concern, yes she wove the sack before laying the eggs and closed it into a ball. very thick stuff. its like tearing cotton.

[RichMenAreEvil]

@silverfeatherwerewol -- Oh I know, I just think its kind of cool how even among cannibalistic creatures, there still appears to be maternal insticts. Kind of lets you know there is at least a little bit of good in all creatures, no matter how subtle.... But that sack round the eggs-- so thick! Does she make it?

[silverfeatherwerewol]

@RichMenAreEvil lol, if you attempt to take a sack, you should take it all the way, if you attempt it and failed, she WILL EAT IT. its for her own good. survival rate for the slings will be a lot better in incubation rather than left with her. she'll be fine and will forget about the whole thing. notice when we dangled it in front of her (we were talking hence the pause) she didnt even bother to give it a glance.

[RichMenAreEvil]

Aw, when you took the egg sack away, she was all clinging to it like "Nooooo! Don't take my babies!" lol

@lilbasteard some slings died. others are over 2 inches now some are still 1 inch. only few remain, most have been sold. we got an albopilosum eggsack incubating right now, but it doesnt look good. we also have another a. chacoana eggsack incubating.

[lilbasteard]

how do they look now
