T.albopilosum egg sac

[troublemakerwithspiders]

My T.albopilosum is a female bought her in January, she has an egg sac in her hide it's small, but I haven't mated her should I leave it? I cant get a good picture without putting the light directly on her and i don't want to scare her.

It could be an infertile sac, some Ts do that. I'd leave it with her and she will abandon it eventually. At least you know she really is female.

I've had 2 do it and they both abandoned them eventually. They really take care of them and I found it fascinating to watch them.

Let her have it. You never know what happend in her prior life. If it is small, it means the eggs have room to grow! Keep us updated.

Let her keep it no more then 28 days....if its infertile it will start to bred mites (she should toss it by then). If you know her past and that shes never been bred toss it as soon as possible to avoid future problems.

I spoke with the person I bought her from and he says there is a good chance it is fertile, what now? How do I give the eggs the best chance?

Update at day 10 I came home from work to find it gone and she was holding her ping pong hall, which continued until today so 48 hours when she went in her hide and webbed herself in. Don't know if it was no good or what but the ball thing was unusual

I've yet to have a spider leave a good sack for anything...let alone play some ping pong for 2 days.

She must have eaten it it may not have been fertile or she may have just felt like it I don't know, I am just stating my observation

I just found the sac she abandoned it, it is still intact trying to make an incubator

 

[Arachnoclown]

Open it...let's have a look
The spider always knows best...if she abandoned it it's for a reason.
