Fertization of eggs occurs in womb and within determined period after copulation occured (from 1 to 8 months), duration of which inheres in direct dependency from different conditions (seasonal, temperature, humidity/moisture, presence of food, period from female`s last molt etc.) and concrete species of tarantula, female lays eggs, entwined them in eggsac (cocoon). Whole this process occurs in dwelling camera of burrow, which changes in "nest". Eggsac, as a rule, consists in two parts, attached by its edges. First spins the basic part, then eggs laying upon it and finally it is plaited with roofing part. Some species (Avicularia spp., Theraphosa blondi) plate into cocoon walls their «urticating hairs» for its protections from possible enemies.

Female of arboreal tarantula Psalmopoeus cambridgei with eggsacUnlike majority of other Spiders, female of tarantula protects eggsac and takes care of it, being turning it over periodically by chelicerae and pedipalps and also moving it depending on change of the conditions of humidity and temperature. There are determined difficulties with artificial incubation of eggs in home conditions are bound with it. But in many cases it is reasonable to artificially incubate eggsacs since cases of eating its by females are not rare in hobby as a result of "stress" caused by enxiety so as «on unknown reasons». To this effect amateurs from USA, Germany, England, Australia have developped an incubator, but some amateurs, withdrewing cocoons from females, take their "maternal" functions on itself, turning over cocoon manually several times a day
