well if she was due for a molt and she rupture her abdomen I would be more worry about the lost a fluid that helps in sliding off the old skin then getting stuck by the glue. because if she does not have enough fluid she will get stuck regardless of the glue. not to mention how far along in...

if the superglue is only on the outside it shouldn't be a problem since she will essentially shed that skin and her new body will be grown in side. nothing should cause a complication, but that's is only in theory

the best thing about OBT are they are hardy and nigh unkillable so its a safe bet thats it premolt

yes, I have have two. haven't decided yet on if I will be pulling the sac or not

thought I would add my other mating of another Haplopelma albostriatum female

still hasn't drop a sac, but I defenitly know she is gravid just playing the waiting game. as for size they get around H. lividum I believe. they are just like any other haplopelma species, obligate burrows, defensive, and high humidity ect

doubt it, they supposedly take forever to drop a sac. I bet she is just not hungry

I own a lampropelma nigerrimum and most of my collection are from the genus haplopelma which is from the same subfamily Ornithoctoninae as a result they have the same care requirement ect. the only difference is lampropelma are arboreal, while haplopelma are fossorial

Lampropelma violaceopes old world arboreal so they are fast and have potent venom and generally considered skittish and defensive like other old world. they are a south east Asian species so they like it humid however since they are arboreal good ventilation is very important so you need to...

usually you don't see this kind of behavior unless they are stretching after a molt. surprisingly I have heard of Rose doing this so its normal for rose behavior.

first off stop feeder her mice (has she been acting like this since you have been feeding her mice) second she could be in premolt and it will most likely be a while if she is in premolt (of course she could also just be fasting) hopefully she is in premolt and if she molts then the problem...

wait are you saying you feed your T wild caught prey like Toad?
