Why does y wolf spider keep laying eggs like this?

[Occisor]

They're dry and crusted rather than moist and round.

Failed or abandoned egg sack maybe ?

Most likely a "phantom eggsac", unfertilized eggs. This is not uncommon in spiders, many species are known to do this and it is of no concern, just means they haven't mated but are mature. The only other thing I can think of is that the enclosure could be too dry to form a viable eggsac, But I am more confident in my first guess. Hope your spider is thriving.

Dobar dan!

She's mated twice and she still hasn't produced a viable egg sac

Keep an eye on the egg sacs, I wouldn't rule out phantom eggs but it she's mated it could be humidity, temperature, stress, etc. Observe her behaviour and you should be able to figure out what she needs. If the eggs are looking dry definitely consider humidity and food availability. Do you know the species or where they are native to?

She is a Hogna carolinensis (carolina wolf spider). They live in most states of America and she is originally from the Southwest. My house's temperature is around 72 degrees Fahrenheit so I don't know if that affected it at all.

That sounds like a comfortable temp for them. Maybe try wetting a corner of the substrate in there to increase humidity, or put in a small bottlecap water dish depending on the size of the enclosure. Hope this helps.
