That is just so exciting!!! How thrilling to see those little noses poking out! _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
Congratulations, Nick!!! They're *beautiful*! _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
There were three eggs starting to turn green, so I slit them open and they were dead....one had really bad kinks and it looks like it ingested some egg white and suffocated, the others looked to be fine. Idk what happend with those =/
Were they all fully developed? So only the two survived? : - ( _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and the remaining seven! _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
they aren't good, I slit them open today because they were all turning green. Only one was alive, but died shortly after. A lot of them had very bad kinks.
They have never been like this for me before, idk what happened this time =/
I'm so sorry to hear the rest of the eggs were bad...
I had a lot of bad eggs from a pair of albino cornsnakes about 23 years ago -- that was back when albinos first appeared in the trade, and I think they were all just too inbred.
What temperatures were you keeping them at?
The fungus suggests possibly too high humidity or not enough ventilation...? It's SO hard to get those parameters just right. But I'm not sure if temperature or humidity would have anything to do with the kinks. This site also suggests the kinks can be from inbreeding:

Even if the parents were unrelated to your knowledge, that color morph has to be rare enough that they may still be heavily inbred... :-(
(I would NEVER recommend using tap water -- I don't even give my dogs tap water to drink. Tap water will kill amphibians and carnivorous plants. My dogs get bottled water, and my amphibians and carnivorous plants get distilled water). _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
She hasn't laid anymore, but I think my sand boas have been breeding with out me knowing.
They females cage screen has been broken, so I put her in with what I thought was a young female, and I am pretty sure it is a male now. So hopefully i'll have some baby sand boas later on =D
I'm suspecting my son's Ball Pythons may have been up to something as well -- the female hasn't eaten in about 6 weeks now, and her back end looks fat... (They're only 2 years old!)
I'm waiting on his Fire Skinks. They laid a clutch of 5 eggs last year, but I didn't discover them in time and they dried out. This year I'm checking under their hide box every day or two. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
