Its been exactly 10 days since she first laid them. The sac is still hanging and she is still tending to it. I've been thinking about pulling it pretty soon however. Looking on the side of her tank, I knowticed little mite looking things on the glass, and what looked like to by larvae. I'm thinking about pulling it tonight, just because I don't want those things to get to the sac. What would you all do?

Well i was going to post and say i'd be tempted to pull it but it seems you've gone for it anyway.
Best of luck with this one mate. the eggs look clean and healthy to me so i think you're half way there.

Agreed, way too much humidity - any chance of taking a reading from inside the spiders burrow and replicating that?Guy...

She has started construction again, and now am unable to get to the spot where the sac was hanging from. I poured a lot of the water out and the humidity will go down in a little and I"ll get a reading. What should be the right hum. to keep them at? Something like 70-80%?

I would have said anything above 60% humidity will stop eggs drying out but I have only bred various Insects, not T's yet.
70% to be on the safe side but not much higher than that.
A too high humidity when breeding crickets and roaches can actually make the nymphs drown in the eggs. Again I would presums it to be the same with spider eggs.
It takes several days for this to happen though so as long as you drop the humidity to 70% they should all still be fine.<<< Waxworm specialist >>>
