First congradulations. The female will carry the eggsack until the babies hatch. Then they will ride on her back until they molt and disperse. First do not disturb her, any disturbance will cause her to eat the eggs. The egg sack cannot be taken from the mother as she will supply the eggs nutrients until they hatch, the membrane sac they are in is actually attached to her body. Eggs will hatch in about 6 weeks, and this will take alot out of her. make sure to keep her well fed after the babies hatch and she will survive fine. As long as she has not molted in your care and she was wild caught there is a very good chance that the eggs are fertile.
