| Yep. Ive lost entire clutches of them for some reason or another. June had two viable clutches and the other 5 she had where either infertile or didn't make it |

| Yeah I know how fragile baby spiders are. You can have a hundred and get five that make it past the baby stage |
| Painted Perfection |
| Yeah, raising them is pretty neat. I have a few females Ill be pairing soon hopefully |
| Painted Perfection |
| I will mention, be prepared to lose babies. It's a part of the process unfortunately. Either not all will hatch. Not all will eat and will starve themselves because they wont learn to hunt. Some will die from mismolting also. It happens and there isnt much you can do to "stop it" from happening. |
| Painted Perfection |
| Its mainly just time consuming and requires a lot of time and dedication and patience lol |
| The Lone Star |
| Family dinner at my aunt's, just finished watching the kids at my place and sent them to walk back for bedtime (we all live on the same property). They tired out my puppy so much that she actually hid under the couch for the last hour, LOL. |
| Angels angels |
| I will keep you updated! I have seen tons of videos of various YouTubers I watch taking care of baby spiders so I know how to do that if it comes to it but getting to that point (of the baby spiders) I have no knowledge of lol |
| Painted Perfection |
| I had a few of those enclosures. Youll just have to take it apart though |
| Painted Perfection |
| You might be able to just take and put that peice of acrylic in the big deli cups and poke very fine holes in that. She could stay with them that way also. Thats what id do |
| SUMMER OF PEARLS |
| so ok...how do you work the trail ride feature? i've never seen it before. it looks like a cool thing but all i can do is read about other players on the trail ride summary? how does it actually work? |
| Angels angels |
| Alright, the enclosure the spider is in is one of those acrylic ones that is held together by bands. She did it on the top so the web peels off really easy from the acrylic if we do have to. Hopefully not though because we do not want to care for a hundred tiny babies xD |
| Painted Perfection |
| Yes you can just be careful. Use a paint brush and some tweezers and you should be able to move it. I don't reccomend it though because it can be detrimental to the babies because theyre incredibly fragile. It wouldn't take much to accidentally harm them. But take the paint brush and kind of pry the sac around the edges off of the surface its stuck too and then use the tweezers once you've gotten it off there and pick it up from the edge of the sac. You should be able to move it that way. Itll be tedious and require a ton of patience but itll work. I would suggest if you dont feel comfortable with moving it that you put whatever enclosure theyre in into a butterfly enclosure that zips. And leave it in that in a safe place. Also dont forget to keep the enclosure the sac is in moist. Spray it with a very very fine mister so you dont drown them |

| Red well that’s crappy if they knew you were coming for her :( they are both still very cute though, congrats <3 |
| Angels angels |
| If it is fertile and they start moving and it sags like you say, is it safe to detach the sac to move into a better container? |
| Painted Perfection |
| The easiest way to tell is if the look dark and havent developed past the egg stage and its been quite a while past the "timeframe" for them to become babies |
| Painted Perfection |
| Just be careful, dark doesnt always mean fertile. They could rotten and dry out in which case theyll also get dark. But youll definitely tell if they no longer cling to the side of the sac. Once they seem like the sac is sagging and you see movement it means they've turned into babies. Eggs turn into the actual spiders so you wont see egg shells per say. |
| Painted Perfection |
| Oh dont put substrate in their containers. Lol. Just hotglue some little fake plants into it so they can move and hide from eachother and mama should be removed from the enclosure once the babies start to wander a bit |
| Angels angels |
| Yeah I am going to keep an eye on the eggs to see if they are fertile. They are orange right now and online it says if they start to turn dark they are probably fertile and developing. Not sure how we will move her and them if they are fertile though. The enclosure is deffinitly not baby safe lol |
