Message: <blockquote data-quote="NatashaG" data-source="post: 81880" data-attributes="member: 5331">It has been really warm over here in the UK for a little while now, and since I live in a little flat, the windows have been wide open all day and it is still unbearable! But it seems to be okay for little Zoltan, so that a bonus. He gets fed every week, but a little while back I gave him an extra cricket and afterwards I noticed his butt was much bigger than usual, and I got a little scared (I've heard all the horror stories of split abdomens <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />) I have noticed something new though, and that is that he has webbed a hell of a lot. All around the entrance of his hide and on top of it. He has never done that before, even when he first arrived with us, he just blocked it up with substrate. Is that a sign of him getting ready to molt? <img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" /></blockquote>
