Sable010

Well, no sac from Sable. She has decided it is time to molt. After about three weeks I will pair her again. My thought is, if she is carrying eggs, I can pair her again and she will still be able to lay a viable sac. If not, then I will begin working on next years sacs. I will have 5 mature females come this fall; one is under right now, and the other is very brown, and should be ready to go under soon.

Fat as ever, but no sac, yet. This girl is definitely teaching me patience.

Sable(010) is still just sitting on her silk mat, taunting me. IS she going to molt, or make an egg sac? She is driving me nuts. I check on her a dozen times a day, hoping to catch her in the act of laying, and hopefully get it on video.
