Hey Everyone,
We're freaking excited, and couldn't wait to share these pictures with you. Our SpiderXNormal clutch had its first pip yesterday, and the baby came out of the egg today, and it's a spider! We had our second pip this morning, but it's very shy so I haven't gotten a look at the head yet. I think it's a spider, but not sure.

Anyways, here are pics!!!!!!

Best weekend ever!
 
Thanks everyone! turns out the second head is normal, I'm just happy that anything at all is coming out. I will keep updating every time something happens. I'm just that friggen excitable.
 
:D

yay! congrats! I am jealous! that is one nasty looking spoiled egg in the picture, looks stinky... XD I hope the rest are spiders!
 
Here's a picture of our first two hatchlings. Two more spiders pipped this morning, two more eggs to go in this clutch! I'll get pictures of the new spiders when they come out a little more, they're being shy for now.

That's real nice. I hope that you are fortunate enough to get a couple more spiders.
 
Thanks everyone! I coaxed (pulled) one of the spiders out of their egg today, they started exploring so I figured it was time to finish the job. I left their sibling alone for now, and hopefully that one will venture forth on their own soon. Here's a picture of the new one, I think it's a stunning spider. I really hope it's female, but either way I think it might be a holdback.
Still waiting on those last two to pip.

I'm sorry, I'm sure everyone is getting bored with new baby pictures, but I can't help it! I'm so excited!
Here are the three that have hatched out, and the last three are pipping right now. We got exactly the predicted odds, 3 normals, 3 spiders.

wow nice beautiful spiders. Brighlty colored, reduced pattern, white sides. What a perfect bunch.
 
Thanks Chris!
Final update on this clutch, 1.2 spiders, 1.2 normals! Here's one last pic! Some of them are starting to enter their shed, so they're coming along nicely.
