Sorry for maybe the stupid questions, but what do you do with the babies eventually?

Are they kept together, separated when they're adults? Do you sell/trade them or do you keep them?

About how many babies can you expect to get?

This is our first time trying to raise baby spiders, so my hopes are high but reality is not many survive to adults. We know a hand full of people who are interested in them. Some will be sold and some will be given. Fingers crossed! They will stay together for a few weeks, if the videos we've been watching are correct, then their own containers. Separate them at or before cannibalism starts.
