She is protecting it with her life, I have put food in for her in the form of superworms as I am worried about putting crickets in with her. Is this ok?
She has had the egg sac now for one and a half weeks and it took five months for her to drop the sac.
How long do I leave the egg sac with her?
More or less how long does it take for the eggs to hatch?
Can the babies stay with her once they hatch and if so for how long?

Thanks guys I appreciate the help

She left her egg sac after three weeks there were no fertile eggs in the sac. feel a little sad but will try again. Thanks for all your help guys.

Im sorry to hear that...well gud luck and enjoy your day

How do you know the eggs were not fertile?
If in doubt, rather keep them in an incubator till they go black.

Fertile eggs are yellow at three weeks and when she left the sac I made a tiny hole only to find many tiny brown eggs that had not grown at all. None of the eggs in the sac were yellow. Also fertilized eggs have a tiny brown to black spot in the egg which these didn't. All these eggs were brown and shriveled with not one tiny black spot visible. I did a lot of research on what the eggs should look like at different stages. So I assumed that these were not fertile eggs. It was her first mating and it looks like the male may not have done the job right either. I will be trying again soon and we will see what happens with the next egg sac.

Ok, that sounds like they were dead.
Sorry, just wasn't sure if you knew what to look for and accidentally tossed a good sac that was maybe taking a bit longer than usual to develop.
Better luck next time.
