Some of them have green eggs, some yellow and some slightly brown, they get clearer looking as they come close to hatching. I read somewhere that the green eggs show that there are wild genes in the popluation, I dont know if thats true or not.

I read somewhere that the green eggs show that there are wild genes in the popluation, I dont know if thats true or not. Well if it is, the red genes in mine must be dominant.  My females all have bright green eggs, and all of my specimens (not including males) including their offspring end up a bright unbroken red. No wild types anywhere amongst them.  Shame really, as planning on putting wild type heteropoda's in my daughters set up when it's ready. lolAde |
