One of my two false-widows (Steatoda grossa) laid her fourth eggsac that I found today.
There was a huge gap between her first and second sacs. Then the third came before I even removed the second from her enclosure. Now that they've hatched out, there's a fourth.
The juvies in sacs numbers two and three are tag-teaming the two juvenile crickets I put in with each.
The one survivor from the first sac plumped up after having one this morning.
My sac-bearing Latrodectus geometricus attacked an old food bolus instead of the cricket I offered her today. Strange.
I'm feeding my four virgin L. hesperus today (two males, two females) and I'm going to try mating them over the weekend.
I fed my mated L. geometricus a good-sized cricket today. She plumped up considerably. I hope she starts dropping sacs soon (she's a pale morph, compared to the dark one that's already given me one sac).
Thought I'd share.
Cheers
