Other than that I just leave them alone, don't disturb and let mother nature take it's course! Depending on spiders size wait to feed again to let their exoskeleton harden. General rule of thumb is 2 weeks for adults and for smaller T's the post molt food withholding can be a little shorter. Mostly though concentrate on your basic husbandry for this or any species and things go typically well. Good luck!</p></blockquote><p></p>
