Ok so I have paired my spider male with a female have been since Thanksgiving well last night I walk in changing water and spot cleaning and I see this





Could this be bowl wrapping due to follicular development or just her feeling like she needed to hug the bowl. In the second pic she has become very defensive VERY defensive. Feeding hasn't slacked off and I have not witnessed any copulations but I have heard that the introduction of males will cause females to start building follicle's. I did palpate her this morning and felt what felt to me to be little pearls in her last 1/2.

Any help from you more experienced breeders would be hot.
