Now, don't get exited, it's a dud. There are still no male T. cyaneolum around. She obviously thinks conditions are good for breeding though, 'cause she made this sac three weeks ago. I'll let her keep it for another week, hoping she'll eat it and get the nutrients back. After that I'll take it.
I hope you can find a mate for her! I hate to see them go through all that effort for naught! I have a Tigrosa wolf spider who made an infertile sac; most attentive mother I've seen, even holding it around the water dish without it once getting wet (I eventually took the sac and the eggs were in pristine condition).
@BCspiderman7 I'm not sure what triggers the female to produce a dud sac but it's fairly common, has happened to me as well. Would be interesting if we could get to the bottom of it...
