About four weeks ago, I caught a cellar spider with a huge butt and it looked very odd. I put it with my other two cellar spiders and within a few days it had killed the other two spiders it was with. I thought that was weird and didn't really pay attention to the spider for a few days. When I returned to the spider, I found it with an egg sac in its mouth. It was really cool, but I wasn't sure if the eggs were fertilized or not. But just a few days ago, there were little baby spiders that could be seen inside the tiny eggs, about ready to come out. Finally they hatched and there were so many of them. The little spiders stayed on the egg sac where they hatched from for about two days. Then this morning when I checked on them, the little spiders were all spread out around the mom spider which was in the middle top of the bottle habitat. So far Ive counted about 38 little baby spiders. There's SO many! But great satisfaction comes, knowing that I have successfully gone through the circle of life.
