Time until huntsman eggsac hatches

[brownsound]

I caught a huntsman in my house about 3 weeks ago. On Sunday i woke up to see that a white disc shaped object it was holding on to. After some research i realised i had a female huntsman with an eggsac. Im just wondering now if its normal for it to have a 'flat' abdomen and how long will it take for the eggsac to 'hatch'.

thanks

Most take about 3 weeks to hatch, Give or take. She's flat from laying the sac. Some food will prop her back up

my H. venatoria's third egg sac took 39 days from lay to hatch with an additional 4 days for the slings to disperse off the sac. Her fourth egg sac took 35 days till hatch with dispersal 4 days later. Her fifth egg sac she ate after 21 days.

Oh ok. Thanks for the heads up guys. ^^@Dragontears: So are you saying your huntsman made three eggsacs consecutively or just three eggsacs over the time you have had her?

She actually made 5 egg sacs. She holds them till they hatch, eats and drinks and then lays another one a week or so later. She was WC and came to me with an egg sac that she ate the same day I got her. Her second egg sac she couldn't get detatched from the wall and it burst open. Number 3 and 4 hatched and number 5 she just ate a couple days ago for whatever reason.
