It's now been exactly a month since my G. rosea RCF pair were successfully mated. I really hope she is gravid, because the male has shown absolutely zero interest in any more efforts. No sign of a spermweb since I've had him, and I have been checking very carefully. My MM Chaco leaves very obvious signs of spermwebs even if he tears them down, but the rosie has done nothing. He's also ignored all food.
The Baron (my female) has been happily munching on about 3 crickets a week (except the first week after mating when she refused food), which is more than I normally feed my Ts but I thought if she is making babies she would appreciate a bit of extra food. I gave her a heatmat last week and she has been loving it, cuddling up to it at the side most of the time. I mainly did this because of advice about how cooling them down can make them lay an eggsac. I couldn't think of a way to cool her down when the time comes, so instead I thought I would warm her up now and then take the heatmat away as a substitute for cooling. Don't know if it will work tho.
Anyway this is her today. She is definitely getting tubby but I don't know if that's pregnancy or just the food! I guess I'll know better in another few weeks.
