Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 87608" data-attributes="member: 3458">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[ATTACH=full]18328[/ATTACH]She's out[ATTACH=full]18329[/ATTACH]A crumpled heap on the floor[ATTACH=full]18330[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
