thats what he uses to hold them while incubating i believe. keeps them suspended so they dont get wet and mold up and stuff.

or i could be totally wrong.

Very cool. If my memory serves me correctly I think I saw a picture of a tarantula carrying around a cotton ball that her keeper had given her after pulling the sac. Even had a smilely face on it, just for laughs. It was eventually abandoned. It was so long ago I wouldn't know how to begin to search for it. Anyone else remember that?

I put a bit of paper towel back into the sac to give it some shape and give it back to the female all the time. They take care of it all the way until the slings molt into 1st instar a lot of the time. It is kinda cool I thought.
