It might be easier for you to let mom keep it all the way through. Remove the water dish so she doesn't dunk it. You don't need to make an "incubator" in the sense of keeping the eggs warm. Warmish room temperature is fine. I use little cups with coffee filter liners set inside a bigger container with soaking wet paper towels on the bottom. No mechanical mom is needed if you wait until the eggs are no longer eggs. If you're concerned about keeping things warm, you can use a 10-gallon fish tank with a few inches of water in it. Put an aquarium heater in the water and heat it to the desired temperature. This will create a microclimate inside the tank. You can then put your spider container in there. It will also be super humid. IMO this is more trouble than it's worth, but it's an option. You can also use a heat mat on the side of a big tank to a similar effect. MassExodus is right that most wait about a month, but maybe you should wait a few weeks longer just to ensure that you won't have to deal with eggs but rather with post-embryos or first instars.Summary:remove water dish72ish + degrees is finePull sac in a month from now (assuming it's 2 weeks old)</blockquote>
