Avicularia versicolor breeding

We are awaiting two egg sacs to hatch from our versi's currently. One is from Bear and Fuzzy which we observed the breeding and the other is from Rogain who must have been bred before she arrived here. They are looking good and we should have eggs with legs in about 3 weeks from Rogain, and about 6-7 weeks from Fuzzy.


This is Fuzzy and Bear

This is Fuzzy sitting on hers, sorry the picture isn't very clear, I had a hard time with her hiding.

I love my tarantulas! Well, most of them. My other half brought home some wicked nasty H. Vietnamese sp. things. Those things will climb the paint brush to bite your happy butt. Needless to say, I don't mess with those. The bite would not have any lasting effects, but still I don't want to get bit by anything....LOL.

We have also had a few breedings that haven't produced egg sacs yet. Hopefully they will! I know we are waiting on two Avicularia avicularia to produce sacs and I think that's it right now. I love my avics.

Sickness

Not alot going on right now except vomit, fevers, running noses and sore throats. I do not believe I have a day off in a month where someone wasn't sick. Which is fine, but my house shows that I have not been attending to it.

I was thinking yesterday, why is it, that on a rare occasion when I can take a nap on a Sunday afternoon, does everyone think it's OK to wake me up to ask me questions, that can wait until I am done napping? I swear I should wake them up at 5AM when I have to get up and ask them what time it is!
