I have been checking my female amazonica with her egg sac daily since I discovered it on 9/11. This morning she was still carrying it and had the opening to her cork tube sealed with webbing. Tonight I checked on her and the cork tube was open with her sitting at the top. When I looked inside I noticed the egg sac laying on the bottom of the tube. I called my buddy, Francisco Torres, and he advised me to remove the sac and open it, also with some additional instructions on how to handle what I might see upon doing so. I snapped this photo before separating bad eggs from viable young. The count, at least for right now, is 46. I have them set up at this time and hopefully they will molt successfully into official little spiderlings soon. So there it is, my first official spider breeding from mating to this stage(my previous spider breeding was from an already gravid female so in my mind that didn't earn me the official merit badge).
. Those little guys are going to look awesome
