[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 177586, member: 1090"] Oh they stay gravid for months at times. Most species drop a sac within a few months from being bred but Aphonopelma are the one's that can hold on a bit longer. If she does drop a sac, you'll know. It'll look like a golf ball under her fangs, lol. :) A. seemani was one of the first sacs I acquired. I didn't breed her but she was purchased as a WC female. I didn't know she was gravid until I checked on her one day....she was in her hide but had a curtain of web completely covering the entrance. I assumed she was molting so I tore a tiny hole in the curtain and peeked inside with a light. Sure enough she had made a wonderful sac! Over 200 babies! [/QUOTE]
