| If it is fertile and they start moving and it sags like you say, is it safe to detach the sac to move into a better container? |

| The easiest way to tell is if the look dark and havent developed past the egg stage and its been quite a while past the "timeframe" for them to become babies |
| Painted Perfection |
| Just be careful, dark doesnt always mean fertile. They could rotten and dry out in which case theyll also get dark. But youll definitely tell if they no longer cling to the side of the sac. Once they seem like the sac is sagging and you see movement it means they've turned into babies. Eggs turn into the actual spiders so you wont see egg shells per say. |

| Oh dont put substrate in their containers. Lol. Just hotglue some little fake plants into it so they can move and hide from eachother and mama should be removed from the enclosure once the babies start to wander a bit |

| Yeah I am going to keep an eye on the eggs to see if they are fertile. They are orange right now and online it says if they start to turn dark they are probably fertile and developing. Not sure how we will move her and them if they are fertile though. The enclosure is deffinitly not baby safe lol |
| Painted Perfection |
| No they cannot cross breed. And yes they are native but All female spiders will lay eggs. I would excercise caution and probably put her in a baby safe enclosure with the sac and let her take care of it. If they end up being fertile they can hatch in the emclosure. Just make sure the air holes are small enough that the babies cannot escape from. Theyre the size of pen dots so needle size holes or very very fine mesh pr cheese cloth will work if you put her in a plastic container with a lid. I recommend deli cups. |

| It is an independently owned pet store in my town. My boss/the owner has owned and ran it for 30+ years now It is a bold jumping spider and I am in Georgia. They are native here but I don't know what the odds are that she would have found one to mate with in the store. And that species can't cross breed lol |
| Painted Perfection |
| Saddled Sass Yes she was. And a really great mama too. Her name was Junebug aka Mama June |

| Thats sad ;-; At the pet store I work at we had a jumping spider escape at the end of last year some time. Well we found it about two weeks ago just chillin on the floor. She laid an egg sack last week lol. We hope it is not fertilized xD |
| Painted Perfection |
| Im kinda sad but tis the life of a jumping spider keeper/breeder. My breeding female and mama to a few of my babies died today. Old age finally got her. :( |
