They are called "dud" or "phantom" sacs. There are numerous threads on this site about them. Happens relatively often.

With no eggs in them? I've had plenty of phantom sacs over the years, but they always contained at least a few dud eggs in them. Only once have I ever had a spider make a sac , that I believed contained no eggs in it.

Personaly Stan;
If I found myself able to produce a sac at all; I'd be less concearned what was in it, and more that I had done it

ive checked her again and i was trying to grab the sac and she wont let go of it...i tried to slit a small hole and noticed that there are eggs in it :bomb:


could there be a possiblity that those are unfertilized eggss??

If your female has molted between the time you got her and the time she dropped a sac, it's a dud.

If your female has never been paired before, it's a dud.
