Hi Sweet P's Mom here...
We have 23 T's these days, from slings to matures specimens. We have a two P Metallica's (Sweet P and Sweet P 2 - yes not super original on the second name)
Sweet P (about 2 1/2") we have had about 3 months longer than Sweet P 2. Sweet P 2 (a little over 3") has molted and is quite fat in the abdomen. Sweet P 2 is doing very well.
But the original Sweet P continues to worry me. She hasn't eaten in forever. 126 days and has not molted since we got her Dec 16, 2014. We last changed her enclosure Feb 2015.
She has webbed a little but has some web stuck on one of her spinnerets that will not come off. It seems to hinder her ability to lay webbing. She went from a pretty lilac/blue to brown. I have caught her laying in or over her water dish almost daily for the last week. Her temp is about 72 and her humidity is 75%. She moves a little bit but is pretty lethargic.
I have waited and waited but I am just so worried at this point. I have gotten pretty attached to her. Any suggestions?
Pics are of her from current to soon after we got her.
This if today.
This is from 6/28 ( a month ago)
This is from Dec of 2014.
Thanks again everyone!
