Ok well nothing has happed since i paired them so i tried again today. I put them together for a little bit and Pluto got one good round with her before Venus made it clear she wanted to eat him so i separated them quickly. Hoping it works this time or, if it worked last time and she’s just taking her time, then i hope i get some eggs soon!

Here’s wishing you lots of luck for some babies soon! Hopefully your house is “jumping” with them! :crossed_fingers:

I think Venus might be preparing to make an egg sac! She’s made a whole new nest very quickly and is now webbing up the wall in a little circle. It’s a little annoying because her enclosure is top opening but i can open it just enough to spray and give food without ripping it. Crossing my fingers that she’s preparing to lay an egg sac :crossed_fingers:Anyone who’s had a jumper lay an egg sac (@ghoulishcresties and anyone else) can you let me know if this is what your momma spider did before laying one?

The eggs sac looked perfectly fine this morning, but when i got home not to long ago, it appears some of the eggs have turned a dark color. I’m not sure if this is them about to hatch or them going bad. I’d appreciate it if you guys let me know what you think!

When I zoom in on your pictures, I’m pretty sure I can see the silhouettes of tiny baby spiderlings. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Looks to me like the eggs are hatching!

I think @jawramik is right! Looks like little baby spider specks! Do you have plenty of fruit flies ready? :clap::thinking::+1:

In person it’s a lot different than the picture. It’s just little dark balls, but they don’t move and they don’t look like spiderlings. I’ll have to check on them in the morning.

Not yet but i can get some from a local pet shop near me. Just didn’t want to get them too early or before i even know if the egg sac was actually fertile.

Ok well keep an eye on them. Hopefully you will have at least a few! And good idea about the fruit flies!

:crossed_fingers:Fingers crossed for you! :heart:

Huh, that’s weird. Or maybe it’s normal? I honestly don’t know. :joy:

Hopefully the dark colour means they’re going to hatch soon! :crossed_fingers:

Ok they’re looking more like spiderlings now and i’m seeing lots of legs!!! Guess it’s time to go get those fruit flies! I’ll take more pictures later today but they basically look the same as yesterday but with legs.

Wahoo :partying_face:! I am still working on being able to get one so maybe next year I will be able to get one from you, look up your address on google, find out who lives there and finally be able to get your name. Mwahahahahaha!

I got four people at my place of residence so you got a 1/4 chance of getting my name right. Good luck!
