2 days after discovering the eggsack...i suddenly have spiderlings!
she must've been sat on it for a while, but naturelly i didn't bother her...til i thought it had been a bit long for her to be sealed in. didn't even occur to me to think the male who co-habitted with her from sling had visited her! d'oh! and now he's off with Mary, so hopefully they'll be more to come!
anyways, i couldn't be more pleased! no idea on numbers yet, i don't really want to disturb them if it's avoidable, at least til they start dispersing.
all i can say is it was a good size sac compared to the female. maybe just over half an inch in diameter, going by my dodgy memory.
