What are the odds of catching two jumpers of different species in one month and both being gravid? Suggestions? No idea what to do if they hatch in my care.
Since you caught the mothers in your area, you could always release any slings you don't want to raise yourself. They are born with everything they need to survive in the wild.
@Ungoliant my main concern is them being small enough to fit through the ventilation holes. The eggs look super tiny, so im sure theyll be able to. Or should they stay in the web she's weaved until a certain size?
Also, not sure if its relevant but i posted for an I.D. of this species when i caught it and was told it was Maevia inclemens.
@JoshDM020 They can definitely fit through most ventilation holes at that size. Initially, they will sort of hang around the sac, but once they molt and want to eat, they will start trying to disperse.
I personally would tape a fine mesh over that corner and watch for spiderlings to emerge. When they do I would then take the cage outside, lift the mesh, and let it sit outside in the shade somewhere for a couple days. No harm, no foul.
@Eek i had a similar idea myself this morning. Panty-hose. Not fool proof, but i could secure it with... something. Id surely notice they hatched before they managed to get through it. If they could. Thanks for kinda sorta backing up my idea.
