avicularia avicularia sub adult female was holding a round web sac in her mouth. She has not mated before. Does anyone know what this sac is?

How long has she been holding on the this sac? She might be just moving things around

This is the 2nd egg sac she has made. She did this again, but the previous one she made was held for only a short time. This one is recent.

could also be cleaning up, i have seen my L. parahybana gather old web and dump it.

It could also be a phantom eggsack, but to me it looks more like its gathering up old webs.

So, does this behavior indicate that she's ready to mate?
Yes but I’d let her get another molt in, chances are if you paired her now she wouldn’t drop a sack of if she did it would be bad . If she’s making sacks in her own she could do it if mated for sure
