Well its 28 days now right? Anyone know how long they take to reach EWL?

From the little info I've found, some pull at around 30 days (28 days today I think) and another bloke pulled at 54 days... only to find eggs with legs...

It's been really warm with my T room temps hitting as high as 29deg, which is not really normal, my T room is normally around 24 to 26 - and herein lies the dilemma. If the warmth has been contributing to rapid growth, it could be ready to pull in a few days, but if it hasn't really been helping, (which one never knows for sure) then I might be pulling very immature eggs which might be more sensitive to surrounding factors.

Crap, I just don't know, there is so little breeding info to help with this one.

Well, Mom ate twice this week, I fed her a roach as a precaution which she tackled immediately, and the next night I found her eating again, so there was obviously another roach hiding in the peat somewhere and she got hold of it. After both meals, she went straight back to tending the sack, which I still see as a great sign.

My thumbs are going blue from holding them so tight.

I still have this thing inside me that keeps shouting: If there is nothing wrong with the sac mom will not eat it

I agree with that D

If your unsure HS I would pull on 35 days then. But thats just me
I have pulled a sac only to find eggs, so I kept the eggs in the sac itself and incubated the entire egg sac, moving the eggs around softly once a day.
To my surprise within 2 days they were almost all ewls, this happened 3 times with sacs I pulled and worked pretty well each time
Just a thought mate, Im REALLY holding thumbs for you bud!

I normally pull an egg sack at 28 days to a month.
As long as the humidity was good.

But as Curt said, if the eggs are not EWLs you can incubate them yourself.

I'm sure you chomping at the bit to open the egg sack, I know I would be .

Pulled it! (Soooorrrryyyy Dimitri! was a very sudden decision).

Eish... Last night after Mom had her meal, she started wondering around. Checked on her later and she was walking on the egg sac and by this morning was nowhere near her burrow and the sac was laying flat in the burrow. So I pulled it.

I took a peek, and there are about 30 to 40 rather large 4-5mm sized eggs, all shiny and a nice yellow. Quite a few have white speckling on which denotes infertile in my experience thus far. There are maybe 5 or so that are much darker than the rest. Not black or dark brown, just much darker than the rest.

So I've placed them in an incubator, 27Deg C and 99% humidity which is exactly what was going on inside the burrow.

(BIG SIIIIIGGGGGHHHHH) I really hope some of these are fertile and become eggs with legs SOON! lol. Whatever will be, will be.

At least I made it to the Sac part.
