Alright, so I just got home and it looks as if my A. Avic sling is molting, it is in its web tunnel, and looks on its back. I filled the water dish this morning, and lately i have been having to refill it 2 times a day. My question is should i very carefully take the lid off to fill it, to help get humidity up for the little one or just hope everything goes well and leave it all be. I'm assuming leave it, just wondering because it is so dry lately if it will effect the molt process.

Thanks :)

I wouldn't do anything at all that might stress her if she's on her back. just watch her,
sounds like you've been keeping her dish full so she should be alright till she's done ^^
Get some pictures if your able and keep us in the loop on how it's going !

I figured. She is all done molting, i was able to watch some of it, she did web herself in pretty good but it was very cool to watch what i could. From what it looks like, her legs are all out and they all seem to be functioning good. It looks like a bit of the old exo is stuck to her abdomen, but it could also be the angle, and if it is stuck it doesn't look like much, it will most likely come off on its own. I was able to get a few pictures, but they are not the best quality. I will have to wait till she decides to come out of her web tunnel to take a fresh shot of her new body :rolleyes:

sorry I didn't see it to reply sooner hun,
glad she seems ok, if she does have a bit stuck to her
dab it with a damp paintbrush to help moisten it when she comes out ^^
Most of my pictures are meh, about one in twenty comes out viewable so post them anyway ^*^
