Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Lilith" data-source="post: 35604" data-attributes="member: 3365"><p>Thank you. My LP is a big ole lazy bugger for sure! I keep the substrate dry, too, and overflow the water dish about every other day. I do mist maybe once or twice a week on the water dish side. Right now he has been in pre-molt for about 3 weeks! Went from being a bald, white HUGE abdomen to a HUGE jet black abdomen and now has laid down a web mat under his bark hide. 3 weeks for a 3.5-4" DLS LP to molt! Agonizing for an expectant mother, so to speak <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Thanks for all your help. It's nice to know I have a friendly place to go when I'm panicked with a gazillion questions <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> And I did change my 75W IR to a 60W Ceramic last night. Jewelz is still hanging out in the corner where the heat hits her cage. C'est la vie. That's what she likes so let her have it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Have a great night</p></blockquote><p></p>
