Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fangz" data-source="post: 34948" data-attributes="member: 873">My Lasiodora parahybana spiderling molted a few days ago. I didn't see the actual molt, but, found the exoskeleton and it looked fine.I left him/her alone to recover and checked him/her today to see if s/he was ready to eat and s/he seems very weak and unresponsive, which is unusual, normally even right after molting s/he's moving around more than that.His/her abdomen isn't shrunken.The enclosure is humid enough.The weather has cooled considerably over the last week or so, but, still it's not that cold (Southern California). I have put the enclosure under a light to warm it a little to see if that makes any difference. I put a cloth over the enclosure to keep it fairly dark so, hopefully, s/he'll feel more secure. I'm keeping an eye on things so it doesn't get too warm (I don't really think that's a possibility, it's not that close to the light, but, just to be safe), but, I don't want to stress him/her.Thank you.</blockquote>
