Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luxus" data-source="post: 77413" data-attributes="member: 4671">Zelda, my b. Albopilosum just molted!! I came home tonight to her being flipped on her back inside of her burrow (she left an opening in the entrance).I had rehoused her into a more 'stable' enclosure a couple days prior... Just in time *phew*. I'm a beginner with tarantulas and apparently I didn't choose the right substrate. (Also this is her first mold since I've had her) She always walked arround with dirt hanging in her hairs and her burrow was close to collapsing due to the weak substrate, even the webbing she did didn't help much to hold up the structure. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> I want to hit myself for this. I still can't really see how she has progressed but it seems she's out of her old exo and recovering. I won't disturb her and she will show herself when she's ready I guess. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
