Hey i have a Steatoda sp. spider that i found and it just made an eggsac i got to watch 50% of the process, i came in and saw her working on it, it was very cool. anyway how would i care for them? and when they hatch, should i just let them out in the wild again? anyone know about how many slings there will be? thanks.

oh yea the egg is only about the size of a pee, it's not very big.

There will probably be a hundred or more tiny, tiny spiderlings. I would recomend releasing them, but if you want to raise a few I'd keep the batch together and let them cannibalize a bit until you get a few that ar big enough to take fruit flies or pin heads.
