I have been pairing my normal female with my male spider since March 1. They had successful locks three times in March. Then the beginning of April I could have sworn I saw an ovulation...but who knows, probably not. A few days later, she went blue, and then shed about 10-14 days later.

I have paired them once a week for the last three weeks. I am quite certain there has not been a lock, although it appears that the female scents within a half an hour of the introduction.

Now today, I noticed that she is inverted a little bit.



I know that being inverted is good, but what is the breeding timeline looking like? Has she ovulated or not? Am I gonna see eggs soon, or is it a ways off? Do I keep pairing -- it doesn't seem like either of them are very interested...

Thanks!

Oh...BTW -- she is still pounding a rat once a week. She has never missed a meal in the year that I have had her -- I wouldn't be surprised if she would eat in the middle of laying eggs
