Huntsman with egg sack?

[Reptiles101]

I've had my Queensland Huntsman for about a month or two, but I've noticed lately she hasn't come out of her hide (it's a toilet roll) for a while, she's covered both the ends of the toilet roll with a thick layer of very strong white silk, but i can make out this big ball of silk egg sack? i was thinking but not sure.

she hasn't ate in a while, but her abdomen is quite small, smaller than when i found her.

Chuck us some pics... What sp is it?
Cheers

Here's some pic's of her from when I first got her

Some pic's of her now (with an egg sack I'm thinking), I've also noticed her abdomen is smaller then it was when I got her.

I've been told she's a Queensland Huntsman, but not sure if that's right.

My advice.

Tape it all up and eliminate all holes.
Make sure you have a food drop chute.

Your about to be a daddy!

Yay! first time spider daddy! haha, why do I need to tape it up for?

I would say its due to baby spiders being smaller than a pin head cricket and the ability to climb may leave you with a fair few throughout your house..

Ok do i tape up the toilet roll?

Banded huntsman spider hatchies are actually quite big, maybe some flywire over the lid will do you good.
Ps how much you selling the bubs for

 

[Reptiles101]

I'll put some fly screen over the tub then put the lid back on thanks for that idea Nick.
I'm selling the bubs for about $20 each

I dont need need to separate the egg sack from her do I, as someone told me the babies will eat the mum ... Is this correct?

 

[NickGeee]

Nah baby's won't eat mum, she will protect them for around a week ish though before they disperse...
Will you implement a friend and family discount?
