My female B. albopilosum has taken to wandering around her enclosure like a mature male. I recently mated her, the last pairing was sometime in early July I believe, the first time was in early June.
She has been in this enclosure for seven years, and I've never changed things around much. She usually stays either on top of her hide or right outside the entrance to her burrow. I thought maybe she might be hungry, so I fed her a roach the other night. That kept her still for about 24 hours, and she took off again.
It is possible that she is looking for the male again? Last time they mated I witnessed several insertions, but she tried to run him down and eat him after all was said and done. Any input?

she may be looking for a suitable place to lay an egg sack .... my WC G. concepcion started pacing and digging prior to laying an egg sack on 18th aug.... if there were several insertions it sounds like the mating was successful ... my guess is she is looking for an area to lay her egg sack ... I could be wrong tho
