hey all,
I just checked out my T (a g.rosea) as I haven't seen anything for a week or so - the burrow is nicely barricaded and so I cleared the front to check for signs of life. Boris was a little peeved unsurprisingly but I saw a white thing in there with him - thinking he had moulted in his burrow I decided to pry it apart to retrieve the skin, only to find it was a sack made of web - presumably an eggsac meaning Boris is actually a Borisette and probably explaining why she was so defensive. Now, theres been no visitors since I got her in June so I'm presuming they can't be fertile - should I leave the sac in the tank or remove it - just wondering if it will decompose in there and cause other problems? I put it back for now, feeling pretty lousy for messing up her burrow and disturbing her.
I was also under the impression there would be some more growing to do - does this mean shes mature and so full size?
thanks,
Mark
