They have loaads of babies, i would advise against it but you can always just leave the babies to eat each other untill you have a bearable amount

If the female is an adult, there is a good chance that she has already mated and will give you something to do once she is comfy and feeding.

buthus is almost certainly correct. I caught an adult female Black Widow for a zoology course (with every intention of letting her go later..not to put in alcohol). I fed her up on crickets and she laid, not one, but two eggsacs. I let her and the spiderlings go after the project was done.:)
