Gravid WC desert huntsman timeline

I decided to start this thread to help keep track of my desert huntsman’s progress. Hoping it can help someone in the future or simply entertain some of you as I’ve never done anything like this.

October 6: bought WC gravid female

Ate once in between these dates. Been offering food occasionally.

December 19: Officially started making a burrow under cork bark.

Note: Already placed her enclosure into an overall tote with mesh screen to minimize disturbance in the future.

Momma spider ate yesterday.
Still no sac, 15 weeks since I bought her.

Burrowed away and covered the entrance. Either she’s molting or laying her sac.
Not sure how long either process could take, so we shall see.
