My adult Parasphendale agrionina has laid a rather large ooth(longer than she is!), yet she has never been with a man(tid), or so I was told. Will this species lay empty ooths? Are they prone to parthogenesis? Is she lying to me about where she goes at night?

 
She is lying to you! u r too funny! she will lay ooths with eggs without a male, unless she is really sneaking out at night, and one way to tell is to sprinkle a little flour around her door and check to see if her little footprints are in it in the am! :lol:

 
She will lay them regardless. They won't hatch though. Both of these posts gave me a chuckle.

...or shine a blacklight in her cage and look for "spots" is what I've been told.

 
Thanks and hello, Peter! Well...she has about a 1/4" glob of ooth goo/black stuff still attached to her abdomen. The, uh, business region(inverted u-shape at the very tip of abdomen?) is free and clear but will the glob impede the males' progress? I attempted to remove it, but it has solidified. I was considering moistening the glob with a q-tip to remove it. Do you think that's advisable? This is my first experience with a bio-chastity belt.
