Rosea moulted yesterday, she did it in the open too, just unfortunately due to work i was unable to witness it. As for the webbing part, it was fascinating, because for weeks she worked on closing off her entrances with web, day by day it would get higher and thicker. then i checked on her on January 1st evening, and there was a bit of webbing on the ground but nothing to fantastic, then when i went to sleep she must have really went at it, because by morning she had created a huge mat and was on her back.I was only able to remove half the old body for she was sitting on the other half, finally this morning i was able to remove bottom half, i was going to try to sex her since i still don't know 100% if she's even female, but because of all the webbing it got too stuck to the substrate and ended up coming out in pieces. Oh well.. next time <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
