Yay!!!!!.

Have you done anything different for her? Temp drop/rise? Humidity drop/rise? Flooding/drying out?
I have a Pampho spec Ecuador mated female and she's hugely fat lol

In actual fact, nope.. nothing. err only thing would be that i let substrate dry, then soak, dry then soak.. tahts it

Rightio. How long since mating has it been?

__________________

Loss of my records means i dont know
Its since the 9th month.. im pretty sure they molted in september so i would assume it would be around november time.
Its such a pretty sac shes done, very plump and round with no sagging

Will have to put a thick material over the back of her tank though..shes dug a really nice and clear window at the back of the tank, probably going to be tooo much light penetrating and disturbing her

__________________

I'd just leave her mate. If she didn't find it suitable she wouldn't of done it there Just leave her be

__________________

true, burt equally it must be something she notices at times, there is alot of light penetrating, im jsut gonna hang a lgihtweight thic coat over the back of the tank to keep it that bit darker

Okayyyyy here comes the scared spider person lolol

Can I see pics of the spider please and explain about the hair things and the mat - they make a mat to molt in yes? and also make a mat to have babies in?

i presume it is a long wait from mating/munching the male before the sac is made/laid/deposited?

Crawly things don't mix well with me but my curiosity and want of new brain filling stuff kind of wins each time lmao

Heres a link to them
Pamphobeteus 'South Equador II', 3 Mature females, and 1 male

No pics of the mat im afraid..
basically, they lay down a mat of really thick webbing, and mix in the itchy hair as a defense. they then lay eggs in the middle, and wrap it into a ball.
They lay a thick mat wen molting, but its not as thick as when making an egg sac.
She was mated october/november last year so not overly long... then its about 2 months or so until the sac opens with lil spiders
depends on species for growth times, gestation times and things

Thanks CStrike

They are actually quite nice as spiders go hehehe The male was certianly gorgeous on the eye - purple is my fave colour The females have also got a plum tone to thier bum (is that the bum haha) yes?

So the pic of the female in moult is a mat? And then a thicker one of them with their leg hairs? is made for the eggs and then she turns them into a webby hairy football to let them grow?

Think I am getting this whole spider thing a little bit - pat on the back for me for looking at spider pics without cringing or itching
