So I don't honestly know if she's a mama XD but she has created an egg sac and is guarding it very well. The only thing she doesn't guard it from is me. When I appear she waits for the misting and sometimes comes up to beg for food is she is really hungry, but she hasn't done it in a few days so I am not worried. She's well fed. I have no idea if this sac will be fertile, but here's hoping. From what I understand this species is semi communal as young and mom, they sometimes stay in her web, picking off smaller feeders that wouldn't interest her. Otherwise they are just parachuters.

I hope the mama jumper lays a good one! Good luck.
Belleville (my other grey house spider) just laid an obviously fertile sac.... I misted her container well and she is guarding a lot. I dropped in a small roach. She still has weight, so I am hoping if she doesn't eat she will do good but she is harder to move around since she has been with me less time than Quennie is... I may have to invest in some longer forceps.
