Ugh! I was talking with my mother in law and she really wants to move the spider and her babies to a nearby patch of trees. I told her she shouldn't move her since she already has her web up and has all those babies nearby. She tried to use the excuse "I fear she isn't in a good location for food." I reminded her that the spider wouldn't have made the web there if it wasn't a good location for food. I was able to convince her to leave her alone but she says as soon as the babies leave, she's moving momma spider to the trees. I think she just doesn't want a spider that big living right where she has to walk by everyday.

Not sure if anyone knows this, but when do the baby spiders usually leave the home web? I didn't notice the web until yesterday but I'm not sure how long she's been there. She could have had a smaller web (because that bigger one is definitely noticeable and wasn't there before yesterday) and laid her egg sac much earlier. This is making me want to learn more about the whole process of spider reproduction. I know a little from watching youtube videos on tarantulas.

Why oh why can't I keep spiders as pets!!!!!???? They fascinate me. (Just don't want them crawling on me is all. )
