Hi guys. My female Haplopelma lividum dropped a sac 14 days ago. I just have a few questions, if anyone can help put my mind at rest.
So far she hasn't let the sac out of her sight, guarding it at all times which I take it is a good sign. It is fairly big, about the size of a golf ball. It's quite a browny/yellow colour in places which I'm guessing is due to the fact she's turning it on the floor of her burrow. Either that or is has gone bad?
So, would the female discard the sac if it had gone bad? Or continue to nurse it?
I am using springtails in the enclosure to keep things nice and clean. There are a few on the sac itself which concerns me a bit.
Does any of this sound normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jamie
