[QUOTE="SpiderDad61, post: 65375, member: 4152"] My 3-4" juvi stirmi recently molted. It didn't web and block its entrance but stopped eating, moving and all. Mine was so "swollen" it actually started leaking clear fluid around its abdomen which I later found is normal and sometimes happens. With this species, pre molt can take a lil while. Be patient. Leave a pre killed prey item every few days, and remove it a few hours later. Keep its water dish super full at all times AND I use a Gatorade bottle with holes in the kid to do the rain effect in its enclosure, to add some humidity. Just don't soak it....and good luck. I was lucky. I was able to watch and video her whole molt. It was amazing. [ATTACH=full]13769[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
