It has been 20 days since I mated my Chaetopelma olivaceum for the first time. She mated twice with the same male, but the second time, after mating she ate him.
I don't know how long it's supposed to take until she lays the eggsac. Does she look pregnant?

She looks gravid, yes, but there's no real way to tell for sure until she either lays a sac or you candle her.

It would also be nice to have a comparison pic to look at from just after she ate the male. Even then, if you're feeding her as much as she can eat, she could just be fat.
