When you do remove the sack, don't feel you need to do it within a set time.  It is perfectly OK to go back & do it later, if mummy T is getting stressed. My wife took 2 or 3 goes to remove a sack from one of her Psalmopoeus cambridgei, but a couple of weeks ago removed a sack from her other & until that point, unsexed cambridgei, first go. And my red fang wandering spider was really easy to remove the sack from, thankfully. I had left the sack in the enclosure of the red fang, for close to a week & she was not at all bothered when I did removed the sack. Also, do not forget to feed your B papalutlensis well in the weeks after you remove the egg sack. Laying an egg sack, even a phantom egg sack takes a lot out of T's.</blockquote>
