Wow, awesome. I have a pair of juvenile unidentified Typopeltis sp. They are quite cool little animals, although mine seem to have the slowest metabolisms ever...

It's great to see these being bred. From what i have read, (there is one person I know of who has bred these in particular, and lots of US keepers who have reared WC, captive born young) egg retention depends on the species.

Please keep us updated

[edit] Just saw a thread where it says that eggs for Typopeltis took about 16 days to incubate...dunno if Mastig. will be similar. I've heard a lot of people saying that they often drop eggsacs but the hatching rate is low (in mastigoproctus...typopeltis seem less fussy). The usual story is that they drop eggs, carry the sac and dig a burrow. I think the young pics I saw had them on the mothers back.

Wow, awesome.

Would you consider selling some of them once they get a bit bigger? I'd quite like a shot with a Mastigoproctus, they seem more active than my two pet holes.
