first time breeding balls. but after pulling the female off i got this..... can someone let me know whats up with the two little ones? all eggs are in perfect condition pure white and seem great. any info would be great.

Congratulations on dropping your first clutch. It's a little difficult from looking at the photo, but it looks like the smaller eggs are viable. I'd incubate all of them and wait to see what happens.

Best of luck

Candle them. If they have veins, they should be ok. Just expect tiny babies.

i know the pic isnt good it was from my phone. but these eggs could fit inside a coke can with space all around the sides. babies from them would be eating day old pinks. this was a spider to a normal so tiny spiders would really be interesting. thanks for the help has anyone ever seen this before?

Never seen eggs that small, but I have heard of babies hatching from "boob" eggs, so anything is possible.

First off congratulations on your first clutch!! I can still remember my first clutch and I can tell you it always remains exciting!

The 2 smaller eggs are slugs so they can be discarded. This happens sometimes but at least you have a nice group of eggs to look forward to hatching.

Congratulations once again!

my first time breeding balls but ive been doing others for a while.

my rule of thumb: if it looks like an egg, and feels like an egg......INCUBATE IT!

The information is much appreciated, but i think im gonna see this one out.

The two small eggs are probably infertile but candle them, and if they have veins incubate them for a while and see, you have nothing to lose.Good luck

How much did the female weigh that layed them?

Thanks,
Bill
