[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 201343, member: 3872"] Several months ago one of my adult female M balfouri laid a sac unobtrusively against the side of the enclosure and I didn't see her fill it up with eggs, it just looked like the rest of her webbing. Well, it hatched out and now there were about 50+ slings in there with her, maybe more... [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20210717_223307746.MP.jpg"]59552[/ATTACH] That was back in July. Being early-to-mid Sept now, these guys have been growing communally with mom and they are around 1/2" +/- each now. I separated 5 early on and those did not grow was quickly or well as the ones raised with mom and their sac mates. Lesson learned. I feed them maimed/disabled roaches about twice a week and they rip them apart to share. Here are some pics after today's feeding: [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20210911_173446213.MP.jpg"]59553[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20210911_184510075.MP.jpg"]59554[/ATTACH] I fed mom at the mouth of the burrow after her slings got the first batch of roaches and now she's out cleaning herself. Can't wait to harvest slings lol, that will be fun! [/QUOTE]
