Dysdera crocata Egg Sac Questions?

[WildSpider]

Hi guys, I had what I suspected to be one or two egg sacs in my Dysdera crocata enclosure some time ago and I don't think either hatched yet (at least I haven't seen any slings). Does anyone know how long after a sac was laid that the eggs can be expected to hatch?

I should actually mention that I don't know if this species lays more than one sac. If they only lay one, I would guess that the one I'm seeing her in now is the actual egg sac (if either is an egg sac) since the female stays in the egg sac and cleans the eggs if I'm remembering right.

Today I noticed, it looked like my D. crocata pulled one of the suspect sacs farther inward (the one she isn't in now), away from the side of the container. Does anyone have any ideas why she might have done that?

Thanks for your time, guys.

Sorry, @Kydog100. What's your question?

what exactly happened here?

The sac used to be along the side of the container, but it has been pulled away from the side and brought farther into the burrow/tunnel. I can probably get a pic if that would be helpful.

hmm I could see a few things happening, keep a eye on her. make sure she has enough to eat

Okay, thank you. Do you think she's trying to eat the egg sac or something?

that's one thing she could do and it's what I really hope doesn't happen. The thing to keep in mind is that these are living creatures so you can't tell what they're going to do next but they do have habits and instincts so we can only assume she might eat it or keep it buried in the burrow. good luck

Okay, thanks so much. I'll see if I can increase her feedings.
