Part of it came off… either the rest came off or went back in…

Hello everyone! Exactly one week ago I adopted 6 beautiful blue death feigning beetles who were in an improper enclosure. They have been mating and today I found 8 (was 9, until one exploded in my hand :( ) eggs in their enclosure. I haven’t even had time to set up their 10 gallon tank and they are still in a large critter tote. I separated the eggs and put it in some damp coco substrate in a little container. I was looking at incubators earlier this week in case this happened, I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon! Can anyone recommend a nice incubator for them? I would like one that has a fan and is already made. I’d rather spend $200 on an already made incubator than $200 making and failing at multiple tries and losing several eggs due to inaccuracy. I do kindly ask to not recommend the Vevor 25L one, I looked at the reviews and almost every recent review says how it broke down after a few weeks or months. If anyone has any personal tips they can recommend for raising these beetles please let me know! I know there is a guide on this Reddit, but if anyone has any personal tips I’d appreciate those as this information is hard to find and not many people have done this successfully. I’ll take anything you got, whether you know for sure it works or for sure it does not. Thank you!

Hello! First post here please help. I just purchased 6 blue death feigning beetles that were in an improper humid enclosure. I got in my car and realized there’s a spider in there that seems dead. It appears to be a jumping spider and is missing one leg. The body is still soft and the legs are movable. Can anyone help me identify if this spider is actually dead or if I can save her? I saved and rehabbed a beetle that played “dead” for 3 days before it started moving, and I don’t know much about jumping spiders so I am looking for any advice. Google said something about making an ICU bed or it being a possible stuck molt? If anyone has any advice or can tell me if it is sick or simply passed on, please let me know. I want to save it if it is not too late.
