How to remove a tarantula eggsac from mom and set up the eggs in an incubator for the latter part of development. In this particular case a few of the eggs had gone bad and stuck to some otherwise healthy eggs. Many of the bad eggs were removed. This is part one, as the eggsac develops video updates will be made.
Turns out the spider I threw in the jar to feed my black widow was a MALE black widow and sometime today *that* happened.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Black Widows!

This is series of close up videos of a redback spider spinning an egg sac over the eggs it just laid. The eggs are clearly visible in the video. Took a long time to capture these videos which i think are pretty damn cool.

We were cleaning up around our barn and found a mother spider. So we just sat back and watched her then I got a good idea to capture it both ways, by jar and camera.
