How to care for Steatoda eggsack ?

[KristianDobias]

I let them cannibalize until their number gets down to what I want it to be. It depends on how many slings you want to care for.

I don't care for them at all during that time. I don't open the container until I am ready to separate them.

Oh Okay Thank You Very Much ^ ^

So you don't even dew them during that time (I heard dehydratation is commom cause of death for spiderlings) ?

If you can manage to open the container and spritz some water that's fine. But those first few days I don't and it's fine. They get moisture from their siblings as they consume them.

Oh Okay Thank Youuuu Very Much again ^ ^

So you just keep them in the enclousure in which you kept the eggsack until you have the ammount of them as you want if I get it right ?

Can I ask how long do you ussualy keep them like that ?

(I would want to keep 13 Steatoda bipunctata spiderlings and 7 Steatoda triangulosa spiderlings as I don't really have place for more)

Also can I ask is it really good idea to spritz water on the spiderlings every day, sorry that Iam asking again but from what I read both Steatoda triangulosa and Steatoda bipunctata prefer dry habitats so Iam a bit afraid that it could be exesive and that it could hurt them in some way (Adults of Steatoda bipunctata can survive months without water or food thanks to their unique adaptations) ?

Hello everyone I've got an update

So my deli cups arrived and I trasported the Steatoda bipunctata eggsacks (she laid second one not so long ago) to their enclousure

The first one hatched in the mother's enclousure but fortunately the spiderlings didn't dispresed yet so I trasported them along with the eggsack to the enclousure, sadly the eggsacks were so glued to the stick and the cobweb that I had to destroy it (cobweb) but hopefully she will make a new one (and also I could atleast remove the substrate from the enclousure because I made that enclousure when I was absolute newbie to Steatoda care, it worked because I was just dropping the prey to her web but I assumed it's much better idea to remove it)

I tried to be as gentle as possible but it was kinda hard to move the eggsacks, so I hope I didn't squished/crushed the eggs or the spiderlings

Sorry Darkness I didn't found similar lids within the EU and the ones from America wouldn't arrived in time (the deli cups barely arrived in time) so I had to make them myself, I know it looks kinda low-budget but it works

I will post and update when I will move the Steatoda triangulosa eggsacks too
Frist three pictures are the eggsacks in their enclousures and the last two pictures is mother in her update egg-free enclousure

Also I bought small/pinhead crickets they are great for feeding my spoods (atleast most of them) but absolute pain in the ass to get out (I realized the best way to get them out is just wait for the to jump out and then grab them with cotton and put them into jar and from it to the spider's enclousure) not to mentioned some almost escaped xD (they were luckily caught eventualy)
