Bowl wrapping ?

[Ihaveworms]

Ok so when do females start to bowl wrap is it when they start to grow folicls or once they are pregnant my female spider has been bowl wrapping for the last 3 days and she has never come into contact with my male. She is 1200 grams, just wondering what this means i tried searching it but didn't find the awnsers i was looking for

Mine seem to start bowl wrapping when they first start building follicles. Then they tend to not wrap as much for a few weeks. Then after the male has locked and they're closer to ovy, they wrap again...

I'd say she's just about ready to put your male with her. Good luck!

When they are building follicle and almost all the way into ovulation the females usually seek cooler temps. After ovulation its a strong sign when they plop on the heat and hardly move.

If they have eggs they will stay on the warm side, pretty much non stop, which is why you don't want to keep your warm side temps too hot.

How old is your spider? I had a 3 yr. old albino lay 5 perfect eggs for me last year. She was right around 740 grams after laying them. Her follicles were 22mm when she was 950 grams. She ate well, so I paired her once. She got up to about 1200 grams before laying. I know lots of people here don't like to hear that, but she did great. In fact, now she's 1350 grams after laying last August. She's on her way to being 1600+ grams by the time she's looking at breeding this go around.

Your male could very well be ready to go. That doesn't mean he will, though. But lots of males are ready at 400+ grams. Some still won't breed even when they're 700+ grams and years old... Maybe they're looking for the best looking morph female to spend their sperm on...lol.

She's only a year old (late 2011) thats y i was gunna hold off not trying to sound like an ass but i worry more about the health of my animals than trying to push them to breed. once my yellowbelly settles i'll throw my male in with her and hope for a pastel lesser yellowbelly or two this year

Honestly I just assumed you had albino hognoses or something, and this was some kind of euphamism.
