    I opened up the egg sac

    I opened up the rosie's egg sac. The eggs are in 1 clump and dry and hard. Does this mean they are no good?

    If I decide to keep the egg sac, then what?

    Also,I forgot to ask. Where do I find 100 people who want a spiderling once I can give them away? And how old do they need to be to do so?

    If I decide to keep the egg sac, then what?

    okay, I've been doing my reading. This is what I have so far. 1. Take egg sac, open it up. Put in deli cups with coffee filters. Place in rubbermaid container with holes punched in the lid and moist paper towels on the bottom. 2. Rotate the containers twice a day. Wait for the eggs to get...

    If I decide to keep the egg sac, then what?

    Yes, that is definitely what I would like to do. Have someone come pick the sac up and keep 2 or 3 for myself. Any takers? We are in the Tampa, Florida area.

    If I decide to keep the egg sac, then what?

    Ok. I have a rosie egg sac. This is my first spider and, or course, my first spider egg sac. If I do decide to keep it, what do I do? What equipment do I need? I've looked around on the board and it seems pretty complicated. And most importantly, what does everyone do with 100 spiders? I...

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    If no one is able to take it, how do I care for it? What does everyone here do with hundreds of baby spiders? Surely you have to sell them or give them away at some point. I am really lost on this one.

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    No she hasn't molted since I've had her. This morning I tried to get a better look at the sac with the flashlight. It is probably 3/4 ping pong ball from what I can tell. A bit bigger than I thought. I'm not sure what to do. I can't really handle 100 babies. I am new to just having the one. Does...

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    How long is the gestation period? If I got her in July, how could she have eggs 3 months later? She was supposed to be young, not mature when I bought her. She was much smaller than now. If it is an egg sac, it is really small. Probably one quarter of a ping pong ball. Could it be infertile...

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    It's hard to see under her rock now. She has pushed substrate against all the glass and added more web today. I would say the ball is probably half of a ping pong ball size, if I remember correctly. I live in the Tampa, Florida area.

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    The ball of web does look like that, only smaller. What do I do with it if it is an egg sac??? Is it supposed to be covered in web? She completely cocconed herself in it under the rock. The next day she tore it all down and voila, a big web ball. Also, the rock she is under is a platform. It...

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    When I bought her from the pet store, they told me it was a young spider. I don't know for sure if that is true or if it is a male or a female. It is definitely hanging out near it's web ball. How would I know if it is an egg sac? Do they wrap it up in web? Or if it is even a female or a...

    Is my first spider sick or molting?

    I am new so please be patient with me. I've had my first spider, a rose hair, for 4 months now. So far, she(?) has been fairly active, moving about her cage and digging holes. However, these past 3 weeks, she has crawled down in her burrow (it is a rock platform that is hollow underneath to...
