It figures. I had put this female in a separate enclosure with lots of easy to remove sticks she could lay her ooth on but nothing had happened so far even though she was obviously heavily laden with eggs. I temporarily put her back in her original Exo Terra enclosure with the other female and male while I cleaned out her substrate, maybe about 10 minutes at most. I go to get her out and put her back in her now clean ooth laying enclosure and I am greeted with a freshly laid ooth...AGAIN on the dowel rod supporting the mesh covering the aluminum screen. I'm going to have to tear out the second dowel where she laid the ooth (the first dowel I had to tear out because that is where the other female also chose to lay her ooth) and completely redo the mesh covering. This is why I wanted her to lay the ooth in a separate enclosure but I guess there is no fooling her. This is her home and where she felt comfortable laying her ooth. I noticed both females chose to lay their ooth in approximately the same place, not directly under but not far away from the warmth of the light.
I assume I need to allow the ooth to fully dry before I try removing it...how long do I need to wait? The first ooth from the other female was already dry by the time I found it so I have no idea.
