had a surprise this morning
Here's a pic of my busy Grammostola rosea this morning. I'll let you guess as to what SHE is doing. Here's a hint: She's not getting ready to moult/shed.

Will she become really aggressive once the eggs are laid?

Yep, there is only one thing that follows that sort of construction. How long are you going to leave it with her before you pull the sac?
Cheers,
Dave

well sh'es still constructing the sac as of now. I'll keep you guys posted as I get some new developpement. Dave, I'll leave the sac with her for apx 2 weeks and then move into an incubator. I wasn't much of the incubator fan before but I lost a couple of pricey sacs to females so I don't take the chance anymore. Oh the plus side, a good friend of mine built an extremly precise incubator, cost him a little under $200. It rotates the sacs and precicely controles the temp and humidity to your reqirements. He can also put up to 3 sacs in at the same time.
Cruciforrm, she won't be terribly "aggressive" unless you try to force the sac away from her as she will tend to "hug" the sac rather than attack. I would however not try to pick her up. Once the sac removed for incubation, she will wander around the terrarium searching for it and pretty much give up after a little while and return to normal everyday life.

Rob,
Was he using the Schultz's "Mechanican Mom" plans?
Cheers,
Dave

Dave, I think so, that rings a bell. I know he bought a book to learn to make it. The whole book (pamphlet) were instructions.
Updates: She has layed the eggs and covered them up but hasn't formed the sac as of yet. I didn't take a pic as you don't see much apart from her being skinny and there being a yellow mass under the webbing. Pics will surely come tonight.

Robert,
Yeah, I have a copy as well. I haven't bothered with it, as I'm happy to wait until they can be finished off hammock-style. How long was it from creation until you lost the sacs you did?
Cheers,
Dave
