I hope this is it

My big normal girl just had her pre-ovulation shed last week, so we're on a similar schedule Your girl looks big and gravid. I'm sure this is her pre-ovy shed.
Good luck!

If it is will she have her pre-lay shed in about a month?

Sorry! I meant pre-lay shed. Yeah, if she's been gravid since August/September, then she's been building long enough now and looking big, so my guess is that this shed is her pre-lay shed. After this one, I'd expect to see eggs in 28 days!

Apologies for the mis-type

What point did you stop introducing your males or are you still trying to get locks? I'm still learning about breeding so.....

I'm still learning too!

Her first lock was on 8/7. She has locked with my Spider 5 times. Her last lock was 2/9. She is now hugging the water bowl like crazy. The last time that she ate was 2/4. After she sheds I will still put my male in with her a few times to be sure. He is a little stud muffin, so If he does not lock within a few intro's, I'll stop pairing.
