What species are you keeping currently?

[jc55]

I only have one at the moment which is a G.pulchripes but am looking for another to add to my list.

 

[8 legged]

I only have one at the moment which is a G.pulchripes but am looking for another to add to my list.

It's not a competition. Better one well-groomed than a hundred neglected!

 

[vicareux]

Currently 5 due to no room to keep a lot more
T. Albopilosus MM
N. Chromatus MM
G. Pulchra
C. Versicolor
M. Balfouri

After the M.Balfouri i stopped getting more.But that is to change soon!
A couple of T. Albo slings incoming from a breeding loan,and a potential A. Geniculata purchase

captive bred to my knowledge. The bird eaters are wild caught haha.

 

[Jordan hay]

They will moult regardless as that's what they need to do to grow.

Regarding the sac....

I would first contact the seller to see if they have any pairing history. It is not a given that she had been paired, sometimes they just lay false egg sacs.

If you get some history and indications are that she had been paired then I would probably leave the sac with the mum*, and take the sac from her after 40/45 days. Snip it to open it up and then see I you have EWLs (Eggs With Legs). My last T Albo pairing produced 404 babies so you also need to get yourself plenty of the sauce pots with a hinged and secure lid as when they have their first true moult (1st instar) they then start to become hunters in their own right and although cannibalism really starts to kick in at 2nd moult, I prefer not to take the chance and start separating them. When EWLs you can keep in in cricket tub with moist kitchen towel at temps of approx 28°C

Also when at 1st instar, find yourself a good live food supplier for either fruit flies or micro crickets...ha ha.

Good luck

*many breeders like to pull the sac and incubate but as this is your first sac....Mum probably knows best.

I got in contact <edit>,it is a wild caught specimen and they said that it will probably be fertile.. and to leave it 60 to 80 days ?? ? And she might drop the sack and come out looking for food towards the end? And if she doesn’t eat to pull sack ? Coz she might eat it ? . They also said that they would buy them off me but wouldn’t be able to give me much for them , as they will have thousands. ? What else could I do would there be much demand for them to be sold elsewhere? That’s is if all goes to plan. Thanks for any advice

I doubt they would have "thousands", 400 to 500 is the average in my experience.
T albo are a commonly available species. The Nicuraguan ("true") form is a little more desirable than the Honduran ("Hobby") form. Knowing the retailer you got her from as I do, you will get very little for them yes. They are a business at the end of the day though so you can't blame them.

You could always raise and sell them yourself which is an investment in time and effort but you will get more money that way so its which do you prefer really, a credit note probably and no hassle (apart from posting all of them!) or raise them and try to sell privately.

The last lot I had were often given away as freebies but I did manage to get a couple of pet stores interested in larger quantities.

Up to you at the end of the day what you do with them. You may be able to get another spider from your want list from the retailer and so that is always a bonus especially as you haven't got a breeding agreement in place and so anything is a bonus really.

Regarding the timescales of the sac. This can depend on species and temperatures etc but we have both basically said leave with mum for a ad long as possible and that is still the best practice IMHO.

Plenty of time to weigh up your options.

Ah, sorry, the "Chickenspider" is called `Pamphobeteus sp. Chickenspider` or Pamphobeteus sp. Araña Pollito.
The possum eater is called `Pamphobeteus sp. Tambopata` which should be .cf Antinous, but they look awfully close to the Chickenspider.
