Second clutch found this morning. Spider x Normal pairing. Four eggs total. Three good, one slug. This was this females first clutch, she weighed in at 1460 grams prior to breeding.

So does the "slug" just end up being a runt, or does it not hatch at all?

Slugs will not hatch. The follicle / egg was not fertilized.
