Is there a visual way to tell if a female Tarantula is gravid? I was sold the most beautiful G rosea two weeks ago and was told that she might be gravid.
If she is I want to be prepared to house the babies!
It's possible, abdomen looks large. Maybe been eating lots. My very first tarantula was a rose hair and it dropped an egg sac the same week. I was very surprised and did my best to incubate the eggs. All were lost... Could have been infertile. Many of the large chilean rose are wild caught and could have mated. If the person you bought it from mated her then its very possible. Keep an eye out if she completely webs herself in her hide. Could be laying an egg sac or molting. I hope she is gravid and it all works out.
