Here's a picture of how the eggs looked last night before I added more water to the substrate. Charlotte is more tightly coiled around them today, and temps look good.

As an added note, the method I am using for adding water to the substrate is using a spray bottle with the nozzle turned to make a jet instead of a spray/mist. In this way I can direct a pretty accurate stream of water to the substrate near Charlotte without getting it on her or near the eggs.

The eggs are looking less dehydrated today, but I'm going to continue misting on a daily basis for now.
Charlotte is still doing great. A tad restless and hungry, but otherwise good. Temperatures are good at 87-88 degrees. I stirred the substrate a bit to break up a tiny bit of mold.

Re: Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)
Wow, I'm very interested in maternal incubation in captivity. Do you think her temperament will change after doing it instead of pulling the eggs? When I finally get my head around the breeding process I would love to start doing maternal and only have an incubator as back up in case something goes really wrong. I've been following this thread since you started it. She looks like a great momma.

She laid the day I started the thread, so I believe today is day 32.

I think that doing maternal incubation is less stressful on the mother. I think that despite popular belief, females are more likely to eat if you let them keep their eggs, as opposed to pulling the eggs and leaving them with a strong incubation instinct but nothing to incubate.
I can say that while on eggs she's been a much more aggressive feeder, more than she has ever been before. I'm not sure if that feeding habit will stick around after the eggs hatch. Other than that I haven't noticed a temperament change.
