hey there everyone....
i'm not a super-regular poster as i'm sure you can see, but i've been around a while and had my successes...never did do anything with pokies tho. always kept 'em, but turns out i get a lot of males. i guess thats why you learn to sex spiders
anyway i bred my P. pederseni a while back, but had jsut about given up on anythign coming of it. couple days ago i set up a new and bigger cage for herand she went right into her hide and spun me a beautiful sac.
now, when i did irminias, pulchripes (when they were aureostriata hehe), and maculatas, and i've always left the sac with the female, but everything i've read about pokies says they'll stress super easy and eat my little bundle of joy...and i'd be pretty bummed if my first Poecilotheria sac got eaten.
so what are thoughts? should i leave her be, or wait a few days, maybe a week, and pull the sac? i've never incubated a spider sac before...just snake eggs.
here's the cage as i was introducing her...you can see her cowering in the bottom right.
and here she is a day and a half or so ago before she retreated into the hide in the back right corner.
sorry for the hugeness of the pics
