Colin

[Leanne King-Smith]

Cheers Andy

[Peter Lacey]

Congrats Andy, fingers crossed everything goes well. I think I'd be climbing the walls from September til now, that's quite a long time, is this the norm? (sorry I don't know anything about the duration)
Really liked the look of this T when I was first choosing one, those and the A. genics caught my eye because of the B&W stripes. Maybe its connected to all the zebra's I've had to retouch for Investec.

Congratulations Andy, all the very best with the sac!

[James Box]

good luck, Andy! nice species to start with

[Louise~Nichols]

Congratulations to you and Blossom...she's a beauty; hoping you have the pitter patter of hundreds of tiny feet!!

[andy hood]

thanks for all your comments , like i said its my first egg sac so i am very hopefull nothing goes wrong , and i get a nice amount of slings out of it, i will keep updates on how its going, course you can have a few sling colin no prob's , i was wondering when she was going to drop the sac peter , i have read that some spiders have long gestation periods between mating and laying , like you i had no idea how long the duration would be , i do now though heheeh

[Colin D Wilson]

Ta muchly,

sort out a price mate (or do you want to do swapsies, let me know and i'll PM you what i've got nearer the time...waiting on various sacs here too)

[andy hood]

Gutted

been into spider room and looked in on blossom and shes eaten her egg sac, i no these thing happen , but im feeling real upset and bad as this was a shared egg sac and not solely mine

[Louise~Nichols]

Awww...sympathies Andy...that's a real downer. *hugs* There's always *next time*!! I think we all use that phrase at some point.

[Colin D Wilson]

That's a shame matey, happens to us all though so don't take it too much to heart.
if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again !!!!
