These are 'Antilles Pinktoes'

Breeding this species is pretty simple, wait for male to make a sperm web, put em together, verify inserts took place, put momma to be back in her cage.

That said, I bred two females, one dropped a sac and the other hasn't yet Funny little bugs.

I've got two Poecilotheria ornata that I believe are gravid also, crossing my fingers

Congratulations, what a huge clutch (are T eggs called a clutch too?) I have an Antilles Pinktoe and a Chilean Rosehair and I love them, but somehow the idea of dozens of tiny white spiderlings freaks me out..lol.

*SHUDDER*...where is the running away screaming emoticon when you need it! The eggs ARE fascinating looking but I could never ever ever (did I say ever?) have a spider. Congrats - enjoy your little eight-legged wiggly creatures...*SHUDDER*

Oh man, the slings are awfully cute, laying there, immobile, just waving their little legs around. They are so tiny.

Oh, and it's a sac instead of a clutch.
