what's her weight?

she came in at 2475g empty yesterday

I think COOKIN'! ;)

Looks like she is building to me :D

should i continue to put the males with her or there's no need?

I haven't bred before but I would keep breeding her until she refused, that way you know for sure that your boy got the job done ;)

ok, so i went ahead and put the spider again with her, lets see what happens.

Looks like building. Have you tried palpating her? Oh and yeah it doesn't hurt anything to continue paring her until she stops locking or you know you have eggs cooking.:gj:

Building

Keep pairing until you see the ovy

I agree.

She is building, and you should continue to breed her. :)

Thank you all. i have not tried palpating her since i'm not sure on the technice and i wouldn't want to hurt her. i will continue to pair her with the boys. the boys and her have not fed in 2 weeks, maybe it's because they want to "breed"...

They will generally go off feed during the breeding process at some point. Their appetite should return.

Just a note I have had my females still breed up to 2 weeks before she laid her clutch. I kept on pairing her untill I really knew. There was times she looked big .. then there was times she didn't. Drove me crazy.. But she stopped eating and moved all the aspen away so she could sit right close to the warm spot..

She is building in my opinion, I would recommend you to keep pairing her until you witness an ovulation. :gj:

thank you all for the advice. warocker i know what you mean, thats why i gave up on breeding and just decided to wait but now i'm excited again,lets see what happens next. oh fyi, by the boys i mean the spider and cinnamon, the normal is still too young. i just checked and the spider is locked with her again. oh boy, i'm getting nervous.

Wish you the best. I hope to see your post soon on eggs and babes.. :gj:
