I used to do that, but I have had waaaaaaaaaay too many either go bad or get eaten.....a sac pulled early can never be eaten and the bad eggs can be weeded out before they cause catastrophic damage to the rest of the sac.
IME leaving the sac with mom for a long period is an unnecessary risk with virtually no benefit.

You are right, much greater risk leaving with mum, have found that risk increases significantly with terrestrial sp.
Thanks for response. As soon as my T blondi are out the incubator I think I will put the avic avic sac in. Will be about 35 days so will be very well developed already (assuming non bad obvs)

Thanks. The majority were bad but managed to save 19 EWLs
All but 4 have now moulted into proper slings. Hoping other 4 will be tonight. There are some pics in my photo thread in the Tarantula Pictures section.
