If shes refusing to lock and eat then thats good sign that shes possibly gravid with eggs on the way.

Cant really base your female on someones documented detail as not every female does the same. My one female never bowl wrapped, laid inverted or had a pre ovulation shed. Each female is different and most miss the ovulation. Just keep your eye out for eggs in the next week or two. If nothing then pair her up again.
thanks a lot, you've been a lot of help, and not only in this thread!

glad i have the box in there then. i really want to get my hands on some sphagnum, though. vermiculite is the devil. it's SO messy, and i sometimes even find it between my corns scales. doesn't look that comfortable for them at all.

she did refuse to lock with our male spider a couple days ago, however it is his (and hers, in fact) first years, and he didn't seem to be that aggressive with locking at all. we paired them once, they locked, and paired them 5-6 more times over the course of a month and a half or so, and NOTHING. then i threw my male pastel in, and they locked a few times in a row. and THEN, the spider decided to also go for it.

but like i said, she refused the male a few days ago. also refused an ASF, but she hasn't really been that consistent of an eater since we got her back in september. she'd eat 4 weeks in a row, quit eating for 3 weeks, eat twice, refuse 5 times, etc.

it's all a mystery, a very FUN and EXCITING mystery!

thanks again.
