She laid her eggs a few days after we caught her. We eventually released dozens of spiderlings into our backyard while keeping Period, as my daughter named her for the spot on her abdomen. She got out of her container once and was lost in the house for a few days. Then she returned to the container, crawling around on the outside, apparently missing her steady supply of crickets. We rewarded her with a larger encloser--with a more secure top. Good luck with your spider. I've got some fabulous pictures of ours; right after she catches a cricket she's still enough to get a great closeup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
