Ha ha, she knew you were talking about her, lol. The other month, when I wrote about my Brachy sling being the most frustrating out of all of mine, cos of its looong premolts when I hardly see it, only an hour later it molted. I think they can read our minds *puts tinfoil hat on*, lol.
Oh and congrats on the successful molt.

Hi Fuzzball79.
I've had my BEST T day yet!! Watched my G.Pulchra sling moult. I only checked on her because I was reading this thread and decided to take a look and there she was on her back ... My B.Emlia is acting very strange she has been out for a few hours now. Wouldn't suprise me if she flips over tonight.

Do you find yours get a lot more active just before the actual molt?
I've noticed that especially with my arboreals. They tend to frantically finish up any webbing still required for the molt.
Thinking about it, my Genic, after 2 weeks of being very inactive was climbing around her enclosure the night before she molted. She seems to be a lazy webber (uses her rocks as feeding tables rather than making a mat), so she ended up climbing on top of her log to molt, lol.

Hi fussball79..
My GBB was active the day before the moult last week. And my B.Emilia has sat out for a few hours tonight which she has never done before in my care. Im very happy with the size increase of my freshly moulted G.Pulchra. Can't wait to see it and and about..

I love how they lay flat like pancakes after they molt and stretch there little bodies out. Got to see my LP sling molt so insane how they do this! Imagine if people molted? Lol couldnt really sex it it looks female but the molt is super tiny and a little damaged. It might be my eyes playing tricks on me. Now the last one I am waiting for is my GBB.

And congrats on the molt Sym! So happy you got to see first hand!

Hi NYX...
Funny you should mention I told the girlfriend I'd ordered a LP and she didn't seem to fussed about it. It's her birthday coming up shortly and I've offered to get her a Norwegian forest cat. My LP sling cost me £4.. Her cat will be a lot more than that ! So no complaints lol...
What slings you gone for ?
