My spiders.

I'm completely in love with my Gandanameno sp lass. Just look at her "face" at 1.38.

They do have really cute faces, second only to jumping spiders.

That's one cool girlie. She cocked her head listening to you like she understands.
But she's really waiting for the fly, right?

She wasn't hungry. She was just looking at me and/or my phone. They are extremely inquisitive though.

LOL at 20 seconds when she realizes there is a second fly but can't quite figure out where it is.

She didn't built a "usual" eggsac? Looks like she has a berry in her fangs ^^.

I imagine that this is how they do it.

Would you continue this documantation? I'm curious to see the development (?) of this eggs (without sac) ^^. Very interesting thing.

She's had the eggs for around 2 weeks now. I just kept forgetting to get some pics.

I have plenty of cellar spiders in my house but this is the first time I've ever found a female with eggs.

Cellar spiders and spitting spiders construct minimalist sacs. They are more like nets to carry the eggs, which may explain why you often find these spiders in damper places. (If the air were really dry, the eggs might desiccate without a sac to protect them.)

Here is a picture I took of a spitting spider with a similar egg sac (you can see some of the developing embryos):
