[QUOTE="sschind, post: 264185, member: 797"] Big female vinny #1 had a sac of eggs tonight when I checked on her. Yup, M. giganteus and I know at least one of the big ones is a female because she has an egg sac. I've read through your whipscorpions and whip spiders book and I'm sure I can keep things going all right for her but one thing concerns me. I only have her in a shallow tub with about 2 inches of coco fiber/sand mixture. I was planning on moving them all into a deeper substrate soon ( I just picked it up today) but I found the eggs tonight. My concern is that the substrate is not deep enough for her to be comfortable and I am leery about moving her for fear of damaging the egg sac or scaring her into eating it or dropping it. I can set her up in a deeper tub with about 4 inches of substrate if you think it would be better. I'm thinking I should excavate a burrow for her if I do because she may not want to dig too much with the eggs. Anyway, I really appreciate your input on the forums. It's great to have such an expert at hand. Thanks for your time Steve Schindler [/QUOTE]
