Well today I made a decision to open my E cyano egg sac and it seems to be all good.
I think she has had the egg sac a lot longer than what I originally thought.
Here are by notes if anyone is interetsted

25/01/2005Mated with Anthony Dudleys male
18/03/2005
Laid an egg sac.
31/03/2005
found egg sac abandoned outside fems burrow all black and moldy
01/06/2005
found the female sitting on a second egg sac. I hadn't checked on her a couple of weeks prior to this so egg sac must have been made in the last couple of weeks.

she is sitting at the top of her burrow and left the sac down in her chamber. i hope there is nothing wrong with it

she is back carrying her sac so I'm a bit relieved.

I opened the egg sac today to discover nymph 2 stage so all in all a good sac
I counted about 82 roughly and not one bad egg. I think she has had the egg sac longer than what I originally thought.

Here are some photos to go with it
The egg sac as soon as I pulled it
I cut a small hole in it
Look at them all spill out
The empty egg sac. Not one bad egg
Loads of E cyano nymph 2 stage roughly about 82
A crappy close of of one of the nymphs the best my camera can do
