B.hamorii went swimming

[Aracnoenthusiast]

Checked my b.hamorii sling this morning and found it sitting in its water dish. But it looked odd to me so I gently touched it with a brush and the legs started moving but it couldn't get any traction. I removed it from the water dish and it promptly assumed stress pose. I'm thinking maybe the dish is too deep. I placed a rock in the center of the dish so if it ends up in there again it has an "island "it can get to. I'm hoping it will be ok. This was 3 or 4 hours ago and uts still sitting where I put it. Thoughts?

When did it molt last?

 

[Aracnoenthusiast]

So far it hasn't molted in my care, had it 4 months

And I take it it has been eating fine....completely eating its prey?

Yea, it just pigged out on a small dubia and half of a super worm 2 weeks ago. I dont see any shiney appearance in the abdomen

Just checked it while home for lunch and it still sits in the same place.

It should be fine then...maybe just full and sluggish. Early premolt possibly.

Thanks for the input! I'll leave it to do its thing

Checked in on it while doing some feedings, it's up to its usual antics and seems none the worse for wear
