[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 126249, member: 26980"] The burrow system was wide open and complex, small cage. She would normally come out and look around when I filled the water dish. The spider isn't in a death curl, just inert. The mold was bluish, almost the same color as the web and some of it was a pale yellow white but not visible from the outside. I took the time to tear down the substrate I pulled out. It didn't smell that great either, like death and toadstools actually. Each layer of fungus was covered with a layer of web. More molts then you could shake a stick at were also everywhere and some feeders were tied up and almost stacked like firewood. The whole thing was almost like a wasp nest. She had been outside more over the past week or two, which I felt was a good thing, also less reactive as well. No loose feeders were there that could've done damage. I think if she was in premolt, they went to storage if not--dinnertime. The number of stacked feeders was pretty close to the number of undiscovered molts, 3 or 4 of them, not including the ones I removed when brought to the surface. I should've taken pics!! Drats!!
