Time Lapse of egg laying

My spider female looks like she is about to explode, and is due to lay any second now, so I set up the store HD camera here at home to hopefully catch her in the act of laying. I thought for sure she would have laid before I got home from work today - she looked primed for it when I checked her this morning. This afternoon, no eggs yet, but she still looks pretty primed. If I do catch the act on video, I'll share the time lapse video with you guys (there's 9 hours of memory on that camera, I wouldn't subject anyone to watching the entire thing)...

But question, has anyone done this before? Anyone else have a cool egg laying video to share? Or just pictures? :) I dunno about you guys, but this waiting game is killin me...

I don't have any videos, but I have a couple really crappy pictures I took my first year breeding when I caught my female laying.

I did manage to get video of the girl laying, it's saving and being uploaded now.

CRAZY how you can see the eggs going down the body to get laid. Thanks for posting, that is super cool looking!

She ended up laying 7 total, and they are definitely all big, pretty white eggs. Now the wait... *sigh*

Ummmm make sure you explain women dont lay eggs though. I can see him going into school and asking the girls if they wanna see his hemipenes LMAO!!! My stepbrother is that age, i could see him doing the same thing lol

Nice videos Brandon and Jen. Its funny how much their back ends "wiggle" to get the eggs out. I know its high speed but still, thats alot of muscles working in sync and contracting to push those eggs out!
