Day 34 on waiting for eggs! Should I be worried?

It has been 34 days since her prelay shed! She is huge and grumpy! I never had one go this long! Should I be worried?

Nope, ive had some this year lay day 28-45. Even had one Lay one day 30 then rest 4 days later.

Thats too funny! I have never had one(first year breeding) go past day 30! It's good to know that I still have quite of bit of time left before worrying! Egg bound is a nightmare that is always in the back of my mind! Thanks again Rich!

Here is an update! She laid 9 big, beautiful eggs on Day 37! They weighed 937 grams! This is a normal black back female to a Spider! I paired this guy with another female and she only laid 4 eggs, one was a boob egg that died! I got all normals! That was my first clutch ever! I hope I get some Spiders from this one! Here is some pics!

Mom on eggs!

What quart tub do you have your clutches in? Do you usually get that many eggs from your females?

Wow, you can't be upset with 937 grams of eggs! Congrats and keep us updated.

DANG that is a lot of eggs.

My girl did a pre-ovy shed but never bothered to do a pre-lay shed. I was freaking out pretty bad waiting for THOSE eggs.

Awesome! 9 little worms coming. Sounds like bundles o joy! Congrats on the upcoming buggers. I'm sure you'll have something fun come out of them.

Ps I had a girls who didn't give me a prelay shed too this year. I wasn't even expecting them but darn it when they did I was happy.

This is only my second clutch ever! My first clutch had only 4 eggs(one being a boob egg that died). I use a 6 Qt. shoe box size tub! About 6 eggs is average but they can go into the teens!

That's a nice clutch congrats, and as far as waiting for eggs I have wait as long as 50 days post ovulation shed for eggs.

They will teach you patience :gj:

I am day 44 and waiting. Hopefully have clutch soon.

not trying to hi-jack thread but when should you worry about your female being egg bound, and what do you do when your female is egg bound.

Wow congrats!

Make sure the eggs don't touch the sides of the tub so they don't get wet from the condensation.

Shouldnt have a problem with them touching. Mine touch all the time, and by time condensation starts its around day 45 and i dont care if eggs get wet then as babies will be fine.

If condensation starts EARLY on then you have a problem with something not being stable:gj:

The box is crowded but I made sure that there was a little space inbetween the tub and eggs when I put them in! Just in case! I don't want to take any chances! Only my second clutch!

Those eggs are huge! No wonder, she was struggling to get those suckers in position to lay them lol.

congrats man! can't wait to see 9 healthy hatchlings crawling around
