5 big healthy eggs weighing in at 482g, averaging 96.4g per egg.
This is her first clutch, she is a 2011 who weighed 1536g a few days before her ovulation. Post lay weight is 928g (wow that took a lot out of her!)
Using a substrate-less method - just water and egg grates

Congrats and that aint no dinker spider!!!
Sure looks like a Stinger Bee to me :gj:

Congrats! I like the series of photos. Good luck with the clutch.

Congrats!!

She was sold to me as a normal spider for $150 + a nice exo terra cage and male harly crested gecko. I eventually came into contact with the seller (local). The person they bought her from claimed to have bred her and that she was a normal spider. But no one knows their contact info to be able to get more info. I'm hoping she's got something extra in there!:D

Thanks =) I love her! She didn't even try to bite while I took her off her eggs. Just for eye candy sake here is a pic of her in the middle of breeding season, shows her color and pattern well

She looks like some of the leopard spiders I've seen.

That is currently the largest consensus on what she is =) second is stinger bee, 3rd is something that may or may not be genetic causing reduced pattern and lightening/brightening her color

Wow... very cool! Keep us updated!
