Embryology

Eggs

Eggs from a wide variety of species have been supplied on a custom basis for use in embryology, developmental biology and other types of research.

Please inquire for details about selection and availability. A few types of eggs are available on a routine basis while others can be collected in season or can be produced on a regular basis if we can establish a breeding population.

 

Bred or Breeder Spiders

In many cases it is better to maintain your own breeder spiders, especially if you need to work with early stages of development. Again, please inquire about species selection, availability and scheduling.
