How long between ..

.. mating and an egg sac being produced??

I got my chilie rose at the end of August, over the last 24 hours or so it laid down a huge thick web mat, tonight i've just noticed that it is busy "folding" this mat neatly up. The spider is definately looking shrunken in the abdomen to what it was this time yesterday - am i going to be a daddy ??, i so wish i had looked in on it a couple of hours earlier than i did.

It *sounds* like an eggsac. Does it look similar to the 4th picture down here? - http://www.the-t-store.co.uk/forum/index.php?s=6cd6173fa1e0da13300254a68950f6a3&showt opic=6510[/url]

If so, then congratulations
