can a gravid tarantula abort her eggs? ive noticed my mf pmet slowly losing her fat abdomen with eggs, and i saw a liquid in her enclosure that looks like a clear sticky liquid like a egg white texture, you think she will not lay eggs?

When they lay eggs their abdomen will go down in size. The yellow liquid is usually the eggs themselves, then the spider should wrap this substance into an egg sac. Has she wrapped them yet?

That's hemolymph (invertabrates blood) has it had a fall?
i dont think so, since she nested up quite well, and not shes always on the ground or 1 inch above so i dont think she had a fall

They can absorb eggs or lay and not wrap but the clear fluid doesn’t sound good. Did she web up a bunch first?
nope it looks like it came out straight from her, no eggsac webbings, like straight out spat it

Okay yeah so I, like other members, aren't totally sure what exactly you are trying to describe. Can you please post photos of what is in question. Currently I am not sure if you're just seeing fecal matter, or if its in the process of laying a sac, or something else. Really have no idea. But its not having an "abortion", in that sense of the word, that much is clear.
