So basically, last month I grabbed a MF H. davidbowie at an expo from a seller I knew. I saw she was a bit beat up and thought she was just old, eeeeexcept about an hour ago she dropped a sac. Honestly wondering if she was WC because she was only $75. If she is fertile when should I pull the sac? I know if it isn’t fertile she will likely eat it but to decrease the chance if it is I placed her in a quiet dark spot. I’ve seen people pull the sacs before and really would prefer to do that. If I can, when and how should I do it? She’s really thin currently and I know she won’t eat most probably and I don’t want to stress her. ABB3F971-0BEC-42EF-940D-D628D67B4792.jpeg

Just leave it alone and see what happens. Don't pull huntsman spider sacs as the mother will take care of it for you. Regardless, you really don't need to do anything as the mother will do all the work for you. This is not the same as how you would treat a tarantula egg sac. Also a skinny female after an egg sac is normal, so she will be focusing her attention on the sac rather than her own well being until they hatch if the egg sac is fertile.

Gotta mesh up the ventilation holes 😬

Had to pull the sac since the female began to death curl, watered and fed her up. The sac was EWLS, I incubated them as I would for tarantulas and check them this morning, all i2 now!
