Cobalt blue fertile sac?

[JonBull]

I've had a cobalt blue for a while now, captive bred supposedly but easily for more than a year and I am pretty sure it's sub-adult... however, it produced an egg sac a while ago and I was wondering whether it was would hatch? - According to sources, it needs to be mated but I've cut open the egg sac and all eggs appear to be full and round and a nice tan colour...

Suggestions?

p.s. now that I know she's mature?- breeding loans would be appreciated

[Phil Rea]

Personally I'd incubate the sac just in case, but if she's never been mated then the eggs are infertile, won't develop, and will rot or mould.

I think incubating the egg sac is all you can do, you'll find out in a short while if they're fertile when and if they (unfortunately) start to dehydrate and collapse

Good luck anyway

If she was never mated it is abviouse that the sac is infertile.
I would bet she will eat it one day.

Jon said he'd had it for "easily for more than a year" If he's unsure where it came from then there may be a slight posibility that it was mated just before he got it. Spiders can store sperm for considerable lengths of time and will only reproduce when conditions are right.
So there could be the smallest, slightest chance that it could be fertile.... and, yes, i am the eternal optomist....but you're probably right

Hi
I have had ghost sacs from this species, I would suspect its just one of these. However it is woth keeping an eye on them.

Cheers

Hello Colin!

Jon said he'd had it for "easily for more than a year" If he's unsure where it came from then there may be a slight posibility that it was mated just before he got it.

I see, yes, do not realize it possibly clear.
If the whole year she not molted that's maybe a sign of the adulthood, maybe not...

Yes, thanks for reminder
Right conditions in the case with H. lividum should be a hibernation, but I believe Jon had to mentioned it if was so...

So there could be the smallest, slightest chance that it could be fertile.... and, yes, i am the eternal optomist....but you're probably right

So, As Mark said, I also beleve this is another one ghost-sac, but surely would be more nice if not
