G Rosea egg sack

[Aragorn Davies]

I pulled my geniculata's egg sac a few days ago after 2 months. Once she had laid the eggs and rolled the sac i covered the container with a towel and ignored her except to top up the water bowl by pouring water slowly through the lid. At no time did i move the container she was in as i didn't want her disturbed at all.
I opened the sac and now have 593 N2's. The idea next time will be to add together the 8 weeks that i left the sac with mum and the amount of time it takes from N2 to sling and then I'll minus 1 week, that will be the amount of time that I'll leave the sac with the female before pulling it.

yep don't worry there will be no disturbing her next time thats for sure!! 2 months seems like a fair time, how much longer would it have been before they came bursting out of the eggsac them selfs? 593 N2's i don't know but i am guessing thats normal for that genus or is this an exceptional amount? do they require any further incubation? whats the next step? hey and congrats on that! i guess those 30 years of experience are paying off,,,so thats 893 T's you have now he he, do you have any other T's that are gravid or holding onto eggsac's?

A egg sac containing 593 is small for a genic, as far ive ive researched they generally have between 1000 to 2000 per sac.
