Been pairing my female spider with my male pastel since the beginning of November. Her follicles have grown steadily since the beginning of the year and she's been building and plumping up like a beast. Now it seems like for the past month or so they've been "huge" and she hasn't gone anywhere. Maybe a little smaller than ping pong balls. I know she hasn't ovulated already because when I palp her I can still feel them. I stopped pairing at the end of April and she stopped eating about a month ago (which is huge for her since she's such a glutton).
Perhaps I'm gunshy? One of my females got about 3/4 of the way there this year then reabsorbed. I really don't want that to happen again (although I know it's part of the hobby). What do ya'll think?
