Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casey K." data-source="post: 180252" data-attributes="member: 1090"><p>When in captivity you should pull the sac at 30 days.  Reason being, they are gonna be a pain to separate once they hatch out and they could possibly resort to cannibalism.  At least you can separate them at first instar before this potentially happens.  Also, there is always a possibility that mom could consume the sac.  Some females do this when stressed out and others for no reason at all.  Hope this helps.  When you let them hatch with mom there are more risks involved vs. pulling the sac yourself to alleviate some of those risks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
