Girl is laying inverted and is bowl wrapping help!!!

[Shawnfireball]

So My spider has began to wrap her bowl is and is now laying inverted. She is seeking the warm side of the tub for some reason. The temps during they day is 92/78 and at night 80/70. are there any changes i should make to these temps? this is my first time breeding and am doing everything i can to make sure she lays a viable clutch for me! Thanks

Most girls lay inverted and wrap around water dishes when they are getting ready to lay eggs - it helps position the eggs for her. Did she ovulate and have her pre lay shed in recent past? I'd keep an eye out and check her cage each morning until she lays eggs... when was her last feeding? Last introduction to male? Last recorded lock?

[Shawnfireball]

her last feeding was in november 1st last introduction to male was friday the 16th and locked that day as well

If shes on heat 90% of the time then she more than likely ovulated.

Its also not needed to drop temps that drastic, Keep them 88-90 warm side and 78-80 all the time no drops needed. Especially if shes got eggs in there, she NEEDS the heat

If i missed ovulation, and night drop has been on till today, could she still lay a viable clutch? :/

[RichsBallPythons]

Could, but the low temps might make her hold onto them longer.


Ive never night dropped my snakes that low ever. 88/78 is all i do even when breeding. 70degrees your pushing it with sickness right around the corner.
