Everything I've looked up still says I should wait at least a little longer here before I separate them out. They're at least able to move around and everything now, but I need to wait until they molt at least once more and develop a little color. Didn't count them fully, but there's at least 30-40 of them I'd say. Lost a chunk of them because I didn't have the container sealed well enough and fruit flies kept getting in.
Just need to figure out what to do with most of them here once I am able to split them up. Also, they should be curly hair slings.

YEAH they are gorgeous and once they start looking less like eggs with legs and more like spiders, you can seperate them out- deli cups work really well for slings, and are a cheap way to house- you'll likely have more die off so no sense in investing in specific enclosures right away! If you aren't already you should check out tarantula related forums and communities. Lots of folks would be interested in babies, and maybe even trading slings!
Yeah, I figured I might still end up loosing a few for one reason or another. Which I did get some small sauce cups a few weeks back ahead of time for them. As far as checking the forums and such, I mostly didn't want to deal with trying to mail them out to people. Especially with as warm as it's been. Let alone I've had issues with those forums in the past, so I tend to avoid them.
Oh that's a shame! I've mailed and received in the mail plenty of times and not had a hard time, but up here in canada you just need to pack a heat pack and you're golden! There's definately lots of spider keepers and communities out there. I'm surprised you had troubles with them, but then when I first started it was a very welcoming community, back in the late aughts/early 10's.
Yeah, I'm in eastern US and it's been at least steady mid 90s. Granted I know I can use cooling packs, but during the warm weather you're always taking a chance. There's a reptile show coming up this coming weekend and I have debated on going to it and just seeing if one of the breeders wants them.
As far as the forums go, I know any of that stuff is typically very hit or miss no matter what. Think it was around 8 or so years ago when I had last tried. Made a comment that I didn't know about something and people just flipped on me instead of actually helping.

Yeah definately hit up a reptile show! I'm sure folks would be interested!
And damn thats a shame! I came in as like, a 19 year old with no knowledge trying to get over my fear at the ATS forums years ago and it was a wonderful community at the time! Sadly forums like that arent really around so much anymore
