Ok, so she's not a T, but my son helped me to find and bring home a beautiful black and yellow garden spider, the kind I always saw as a child, but have not seen for many years.

She adjusted well to her new home and has eaten for me a few times. Now comes the best part. In her gratitude for saving her from certain death from arachnophobes, she has blessed me with an egg sac. Quite a large one, too!

So, before I end up with 500 slings running all over my house, I need to know how to care for them until they hatch, and what to do once they hatch. It is my goal to keep as many alive and healthy until spring, and then release them into my yard so I won't ever have to miss my lovely spiders again.

I've done a few searches, but didn't really find any concrete information. At the least, I'd like to know what I can keep the egg sac in so that when it hatches, the slings won't run rampant.
