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.

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
