my friend supposedly found a black widow spider near our trashcans so i went to check and found nothing. i looked again and saw a white egg sac. it's a little smaller than a dime and it's as round as a small playing marble. anyway, i'm wondering how to incubate the eggs so that the egg sac can produce viable spiderlings. i've never had experience with any kind of egg sac so any comments would be truly helpful. thank you.
incubating/hatching black widow egg sac?

yeah it was crazy, a huge communal web with orange spots all over it lol.....
snow??? now that would be an interesting topic to explore i'd think they would be chilled almost to death by being exposed to that kind of cold...

i would have thought so too... it was very sluggish, but after bringing it in and letting it get used to inside temps, it perked up really fast. pretty interesting, definitely caught me by surprise!snow??? now that would be an interesting topic to explore

yep. unless you want every one of them. i would take the sacs out and separate- when they get dark.
