Thanks, I have two more female rufilata that molted recently but I need to get them fattened up before a photo shoot. They look better with a little more junk in the trunk lol.

Anyways, I tried taking photos of this e. uatuman today and these are all I could get. This thing was bolting everywhere! I was afraid I was going to get tagged because I was using my hands to block it while it was running everywhere. I got it to calm down two times on the wood to get a few shots. She was more focused on running than sitting still for photos.

They are really hard to photograph! I dont even try to photograph mine. Its too fast. But once you do, its worth it. Nice pictures.

Okay, well all along while I was waiting for my larger female p. ornata to lay a sac, my smaller female was gearing up to do just the same. I had been candling her the same as my larger p. ornata and she appeared to be gravid as well. So when I woke up this morning I did my normal check up on T's and when I came accross her enclosure I couldn't find her at all but I could see that she webbed everywhere just a little bit. This is the only angle I have managed to get but you can see this isn't webbing for a molt, this is something much better. :) Sorry for the glare.

Here she is all wrapped up. Not huge, but she's not that big to begin with.


And my much larger female's enclosure is starting to look like this.

Awesome Man! I know you've been pumped about this for a while. Good luck with both sacs!

Thanks J. But I only have 1 right now. :)

I just want to fastforward 20-30 days so I can pull the sac. I hate waiting. lol

Bigger female p. ornata started laying last night and is just about finished up as of now. Her sac look's considerably larger. :)





I'll have to get the both of them side by side so I can show the difference in size.
