floury eggs

[Ole stoiberg]

Now as I had a few egg sack´s in my time in the hobby, I’ll still wonder, as I empty the egg sack in too incubation, there is some “spices” that has/leaves a floury look on the egg´s. Now I’m thinking why, and is this only on some “spices”. Example my pokes have always been giving egg´s with a clear polish look, but example with my H. maculata. They had the floury look. Could this be caused by the way the egg sack is being keep with the “T” as the example, H. maculata as this spices is attaching the eggs sack on to bark and exc. Or is there a more logical explanation to this…????

Maybe it's to do with climate - the flour may help the eggs to keep from sticking together, but in a damp climate the flour may make the eggs more sticky, so those eggs may be the polished ones. So for examle, are G rosie eggs floury, and T blondie eggs polished?

stop putting spices in with your spiders than they don't like too smell of oregano. LOL sorry couldn't resist.

I've had, in the past, egg sacs from a few females from the same species (G. rosea, G auriostriata), created in the same conditions with either the shiney (polished) or the marbled (dusty) appearance per individual sac, never mixed in the same sac though from personal experience.
