Help!!i got an eggsac!

[Weapon-X]

well last night i went into my room and clicked on the flourescent light i use for veiwing my t's, i looked over at my 4" female florida huntsman and noticed she has a disc shaped eggsac underneath her, shes in there now guarding it(holdinding it under her with her pedipalps)... ok, how do i succesfully hatch these guys this is so awesome, can i put them in a homemade hammock style incubator(if so please tell me exactly how to make it, or show me a link please), temps?, humidity?, how big will they be if they hatch? will i have to feed them fruit flys?, sorry for all the questions folks i'm pretty excited and need all the info and help i can get, thanks ahead of time!--Jeff=D :? =D

anyone know

okay , well i found some info, like that the eggsac's contain more than 200 eggs and that its disc shaped(obviously), and that the mother holds it and is relativly immobile while holding it.Does anyone know what temps and humidity would be appropriate? how long does it take for them to hatch? what to feed the young,etc...?

Basically, any species of Heteropidae is the same as any other:

Sorry for slacking, Jeff!

The temperament of species like Holconia and D. cancerides makes them suitable for at least a semi-communal lifestyle in a suitably large terrarium...

It ain't recommended for the more aggressive species, notably those originating from Africa...
