    Found a ball upside down

    Walked into the room and saw this. I've been pairing her for the last few weeks with an enchi male (in pic) but havent seen any lock ups. Although, he has locked with my pastel female.

    This spider girl is around 2200-2400g and I've had her since she was around 150g. I'm concerned and a little confused about this?

    I'm guessing it's either her being gravid, her doing weird spider stuff (although she BARELY ever wobbles, never spins), or is showing signs of IBD?

    Looking for any insight, concerned because even her head was found somewhat upside down.

    Alright, I didnt see those banners (probly ad blocker). New link inc.

    I believe laying inverted is a sign of building? (newbie, so I'm probably wrong on that)

    I think it's like a combination of laying inverted due to building follicles and spider stuff. Doesn't look like IBD.

    Forgot to mention that she's still pounding food.

    On feeding day after pre scenting the room with the rodents, the second I open the tub she comes out asking for it.

    Thats a sign of building. She'll eat heavy until she ovulates then will go off food.
