Lasiodora Parahybana (Salmon Pink Birdeater) Egg Sac

[crokandok]

My Lasiodora Parahybana has had an egg sac for about 30 days now so with it being our first egg sac and breeding attempt I was just curious about a few things.

* When do you recommend we take the egg sac from her?

* Where should we move the egg sac to?

and

* Do the slings need me to in any way help them get out of the egg sac or will they do that themselves?

Plus any other advice would be very appreciated

Thankyou

Plus;

Within the time she has had it she has never left it, only moving to stretch her legs but in the last couple of days she has been getting aggitated and moving further and further away from it but always going back to it after about 30 mins.

At 30 days if you open it they should be nymph 1 or 2. Nymph 2 would be the case if she's been kept pretty warm so pulling it now you'd still need an incubator.

You don't take the sac off and just leave it as it is, you need to have an incubator set up and ready to go. No need to have it on a mat or anything, next to the mums tank is fine so its kept at the same conditions she is Here's a good link for making an incubator (just skip the polybox bit)

Sit the sac in and open it up and see what you've got Use scissors and GENTLY open it layer by layer til you get to the babies.

Good luck and get pics

I've found that parahybana take a bit longer to develop. My last sac were still eggs with leggs at the 4 week stage at the height of summer.
