My Mexican redleg sling is still in his little cave...being a selfish spider! I'm so worried he's gonna starve or he crawled into the cave and just died or he dried up! Can ya tell this is my first T? Help calm my nerves?

It's a waiting game, they can go months without food.

Here's a pic my son took of his G. rosea Buddha. Still trying to teach him the flash is a good thing lol

My little Dolichothele diamentinensis, Alberta, moulted yesterday evening. It must have been really quick because Alberta had been out and about just a couple off hours before.


And this morning it's starting to colour up beautifully

Yes, that little sling is about 3/4" dls and has been in premolt for 2 months or more until night before last. His actual molting only took about 45 minutes until he was back on his feet.

2 Molts! My Nhandu colorativillosus molted yesterday. Can just see it in his tunnel with him, Buddha is on his back molting right now, and I thing the L. itabunae molted but I can't verify yet.

My camera on my phone is screwed all my pics are coming up unsupported format

I was wrong. Colt, my L. itabunae molted yesterday. Here she is fresh out of the burrow with just a touch of that translucency in her legs.

She's beside a 1 liter coke cap for size reference. A bit of growth from her 1/4" dls when she arrived.

And also molted yesterday is Scooter, my B. smithi. Love the colors starting to come in now.

Missingno, my son's B. albo molted night before last after we did water and maintenance. Here's his new skin. My son was doing water again and he came out exploring or so the story goes

I had 3 moulted yesterday, my Avicularia versicolor, Jazz, then the Omothymus schioedtei, Lapan, followed by Trip, the Poecilotheria metallica who gave me a huge scare. Trip's moult began yesterday afternoon when she started webbing frantically, by evening she had flipped onto her back in the hammock she'd made at quite a steep angle, she looked as though she was about to slide down a helter-skelter. The moult itself was quite successful but then she slid down and off the bottom landing with her old exo in a heap on the floor, a drop of around 5". I had to leave her overnight, this morning she had moved a little and has now crawled behind the plant so I can't see her but at least she seems to have sorted herself out.

Trip on her back

She's out

A crumpled heap on the floor

 

[Kymura]

Gratz on the multiple molt.
Hope Trip is okay.
