Hi!
My female H. maculata is guarding an eggsac for over 2 months now. She produced it in the first days of May, about 6 weeks (or a few days more) after the mating. I decidedto leave the eggsac with the female (to let nature do her work). Guy Tansley writes on his website, that the spiderlings emerge approximately 8 weeks later. I'm getting a little nervous, so...how long would you wait for the young to emerge? When would you decide to take the eggsac away from her to look if everything is allright?
Thanks a lot!
