veiled normal behaviour??

welcome.
and yes, leave the towel, if they start to dig and see you, they may stop. and that can cause egg binding.

just mist her but stay far from her, so she cant see you, just the bottle.

Not to ask a stupid question but she can see my hand correct? And I should limit my contact with her to just feedings right?

well yea she can see your hand probably, but she cant see all of you, and shell be more focused on the water anyway.

shed- not really.they shed when they need to, wont influence and wasnt influenced by eggs at all.

Alright, yeah she is by the hour starting to really get white on her spine area lol so I am just waiting for her pits to flake like they did last time. And cutting down her feeders for a week will do her some good correct or?

how much do yo ufeed now, and how much do you plan to cut down to?

She gets about 12-15 1/2 inch crickets a day, I was gonna cut down to like 6 a day if at all possible. I am currently out of supers and I cannot feed off my dubia yet because the colony is still growing. She gets fed two different times a day, getting 6 at one and 6 at the other.

Isa- how old is your female?
 
Well I order the smaller size so that they last longer because I buy in bulk. But I will keep that in mind for her.

when my female hit about 9 months, i fed her 5-6 large crickets every other day.

she laid 38 fertile eggs, i cut her back to 4-5 every other day, she laid 30 unfertile..

OKay, well sounds good. I may just cut her back a little bit in hope to decrease her first infertile clutch.
