wow very nice!!how long did the whole process take?pics look amazing man.great sequence of shots here :D

[padkison]

I found her after she was finishing up the mat and was getting ready to lay the eggs. From that point on, it took about one hour. Here's another shot I did not include because of the poor quality. This is prior to the eggs showing up. Looks like she drops a blob of clear fluid prior and then lays the eggs into that. Is this standard spider procedure when laying eggs or am I seeing things?

I was popping in and out of the bug room while exercising and wish now I had stayed to try and get a bunch of shots during the actual laying of eggs. That part goes pretty quick.
