Opening date of Egg sack : 26 June 2025
Stage : First Instar
Temperature : 25°C

Note : Male was introduced 3 times in March. Female closed up her hide 5 weeks later and we suspected she had laid a eggsac.
We opened up her nest on 26 June and found EWL busy molting to first instar. These have not been bred in SA often, as far we recall this is the second successful breeding of this species in SA.
