My spider still hasn't built a web since she's still a tank, but she has been eating moths out of my hand :)

I carefully attached her egg sac to a twig and put it in an empty water jug, covering the top with gauze and the jug's lid with a single hole punched in, should I give them more ventilation or will that be enough? I misted the inside of the bottle first.
I've kept adults before, but never raised an eggsac. The article I mentioned before does discuss rearing the eggsac, though.

Your set up sounds good to me, but I wonder how you will manage the spiderlings when they emerge inside a water jug!

Yeah, I definately won't have room unless they eat eachother. Can't release them, as they're not native and it'll be winter soon.
