P Cambridgei made a phantom sac now what

[obie]

Hello everyone i woke up this morning to find my p cambridgei had made a egg sac. Now I know that she is a female for sure and the egg sac is a phantom one how long do i wait to breed her with a male. Do I wait until she molts again or do I just take the sack.

It's up to you, but personally I'd take it. Those things will rot soon. You can wait for another molt, but I'd say she really wants to become a mommy.
Has it been long since she last molted? How big is she?

 

[obie]

She's about 5.5 inches and about 2yrs old. It's been about 5 maybe 6 months since her last molt and she stopped eating more then a month ago. So I assumed she was going to molt then I saw the egg sac

 

[z32upgrader]

Interesting. 5.5" is still on the small side for breeding. I'd wait for another molt and better than 6" so it's not so hard on her little body.

I'll try and measure her just to make sure

 

[obie]

Do they eat them. Cause now I don't see it. And there's like 3 tiny eggs on the substrate

 

[obie]

Can't find my tape measure but streched out she is about 1/2 in shorter then my phone which is a note 5

from what I read note 5 is 6.03 x 3.00 x 0.30 inches (153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6 mm) "

Not really a good idea. Those eggs are loaded with nutrition, and in my experience, phantom sacs are usually eaten. That keeps all that nutrition from going to waste.

If the sac's abandoned, then you can remove it.

Yup she ate it. How long should I weight before I try to mate her.

Was thinking the same, why waste such a good meal

To the OP,
Captive spiders can be bred year-round. This is one of my favorite threads to read through:
