[QUOTE="Trouble's Matriarch, post: 206336, member: 38063"] Well, I should have seen this coming, but I was just hoping our little wild-caught Stranger was a male! I found her in a classroom at my daycare, and took her home to raise as a pet since our current apartment doesn't allow furry friends. Over the last two weeks or more, she has stopped feeding and busied herself building a double-layered nest. She's also not lost any weight from her abdomen, and her last meal was about 3 weeks ago (not for lack of trying, my local pet store thinks I'm bonkers for buying single pinhead crickets every few days!). I'll add photos as soon as I can, and hopefully she isn't too shy to come out and show her cute face! Also, a quick question; I've seen all kinds of information about keeping substrate out of sling containers, but if she does end up laying and hatching eggs, should I be concerned about the substrate and decorations in the mother's cage? Would it stress her out to remove what I can now? She started this nest immediately after I had to scrap her first enclosure (mushroom growing out of the soil), and I want to keep her as safe and happy as possible. (Found the right forum, whoops!)
