Mine tend to web a corner of their enclosure up more just before they molt. He/she's probably just looking for a little privacy.

Hey, we've all been there! As you've kept them longer, you'll just get more experienced at recognizing the signs.

I caught my P. vittata laying down a molting hammock last night, and I checked on her a couple dozen times throughout the night (and got to see the molt!), so the fascination never goes away.

[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 38092, member: 1152"] Mine tend to web a corner of their enclosure up more just before they molt. He/she's probably just looking for a little privacy. :) Hey, we've all been there! As you've kept them longer, you'll just get more experienced at recognizing the signs. I caught my P. vittata laying down a molting hammock last night, and I checked on her a couple dozen times throughout the night (and got to see the molt!), so the fascination never goes away. :) [/QUOTE]
