Hey all,
A couple of weeks ago I thought I had a runaway sling for a moment, but after checking on here it was ID'd as a grass spider. I figured what the hell, and fed it a few crickets in one of my sling containers. It got fat fast. Then yesterday it made an eggsac.
I have no intention of keeping it or the eggsac but don't want to destroy the eggsac either. If I take the lid off the container and leave it outside, do people think the female will abandon the egg and leave the container, or stick by it? I'm just curious. I'll probably just put the container outside so when it hatches they will be outside - but I wonder if she'd exit and leave behind the eggsac when left with the option to flee.
Any wagers?
