Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scott Fitzgerald" data-source="post: 57878" data-attributes="member: 4206">I just bought my first T. He is a 3/4" Antilles pink-toed (Avicularia versicolor). He came as a brilliantly colored cobalt blue. He has spun webbing and has eaten 2 crickets in 3 weeks time so he appears to be happy. Recently his back has become discolored and he has been hanging upside down from underneath a leaf for 2 days and has not moved. I have gone out of my way not to disturb him. Does this mean he is molting? Also, is it okay to put such a small T into a 10 gallon terrarium or is it way to soon?Thanks,Scott</blockquote>
