Pastel looks pretty gravid need some tips

[benwallage9]

Hey so I went to clean my tubs today and saw my pastel girl laying like this for the second day in a row. She's been breeding with my male spider.



Some extra background info:

I started pairing them on 10/5/2011.

I've been pairing at least every other week since then.

I have seen multiple locks.

She refused the last two times she has been offered.

Her last shed was on 12/27/2012 I think that might have been her pre-ovulation shed maybe?

She was last weighed on 1/13/2012 she weighed 1726g.

I haven't seen her bowl wrapping or laying on the cool side.

She was last paired on 1/18/2012 I saw courting but couldn't confirm a lock.

She seems extremely lethargic when I open the tub and move her hide she doesn't move at all (which she always pokes her head out to see whats going on normally) She keeps this up until I gentle touch her around the neck area and then she starts spasticly moving her head all over the place but not her body....

I know she's laying inverted and she is on the hot spot which I know are both great signs that she will lay some eggs. My question is where to go from here? Do I keep pairing her? How soon till you guys think she will lay? Should I keep offering her food? Is it ok to move her or pick her up?
Sorry for such a long post....

Ok.... Yes keep paring. Unless you witnessed the OV then keep paring. Keep offering food. If she is gravid she more then likely won't eat. Yes it's ok to pick her up. You wont hurt her or the eggs.
As for the when she will lay. Well unless you witnessed her OV and know for sure that was her pre lay shed then it's impossible to know. She showing some good signs. So just keep paring and when they are good and gravid you can tell. So jut keep watching for other signs and watch for eggs. Get you incubator up and running now and an egg box ready in the bator so it's up to temp when eggs arrive.
Good luck!
