So I haven't been on in forever, but I decided to breed my big girl and thought I'd better get back in the habit of posting because I know I'll have questions
I started pairing her with my spider male in December, and got great pics of all the stages and kept really good notes, but my computer got a virus and all of my pictures and documents and everything had to be deleted Sooo no pictures. (First lock, ovulation, tail suck pictures, all gone )
She shed on the first of April and has been coiling on the hot side ever since, and she's starting to get that ridged back. I have and incubator up and running just in case, but since I've got her in a well controlled rack with a herpstat and no humidity problems, I've decided to leave it up to her. A big thanks to everyone who's done maternal incubation on here, your good experiences and helpful advice really helped me to make this decision!
This will be her fourth clutch of eggs, but my first, and I'm so excited! I'm also excited to see if any come out looking like her (I was told she is a genetic blush and she definitely looks it) and how she'll affect the spider pattern. I'll take some pictures soon and post them.
On a related note, my first BP ever, Simon, ate his first rat tonight! SO EXCITED. He was up to 2 or 3 adult mice once a week, which was a pain.
