Did you throw the food into the tank, or did you put the food into her fangs, remember this, the female is not going to go hunting for food, as she is only going to be looking after the egg sack.

Try putting it into her web or fangs.

When did she drop her new sack?

Many thanks for your advice Jake!
I just held a cricket right by the Ts mouth. She was a bit uninterested but her aggression, due to her protecting her sack led to her munching a cricket.

Hopefully she pulls through. This is a great sign of hope.

Taps are usually sexually mature (females) from around 7cm, so no need to worry that she is too young/small. I would suggest that you keep her at a slightly lower temperature than usual to prevent a triple clutch, not that I think she will drop again.

The dud sack won't really provide her with much nutrition, so try and feed her every day for a week or 2. Offer her a variety of food and in this case I would make sure she has a water source.

If she gets worse/weak, put her in ICU, although I doubt things will turn that way.

Good luck!
