Ten eggs, though one looks as though it is possibly infertile. I'm not sure about that one. I don't think she has any more. They are mostly attached. In fact, one mass has about seven eggs all stuck together.
The female looks good. A little thin, and probably a little dehydrated, but it looks like she'll be fine. She didn't do too badly when I took the eggs, meaning she didn't bite the hell out of me. I'll keep everyone updated as things move along. Hope all is well.

Also, two of the eggs are not in contact with the substrate because they are stuck on top of the other eggs. Will this affect the likelihood of those eggs hatching? What about the eggs underneath them?
Here's a picture.

Very nice, best of luck in hatching them.

Your substrate looks too wet for coconut. Call me if you can.

I was worried you might say that. I didn't use flash on that picture so it makes it look wetter. I just took some in my fist and I couldn't squeeze even a drop of water from it, and it's nice and fluffy. Does this seem okay? There was a very light mist on the top of the incubation chamber this morning, but no droplets.

Now all I have to do is make sure things go as planned for the next 3-4 months! ARGHHH!!! I can't wait for some baby Pseustes!

The top eggs will do fine. See if you can add some dry coconut husk to that mix, it looks way too wet.

Leave the eggs stuck together do not seperate them.
