Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phil" data-source="post: 157173" data-attributes="member: 4151">Laying flat is a completely normal thing for a spider to do just after a moult. They are basically getting used to the new exoskeleton and maximising how much growth they can get before the outer skin fully hardens and then is no more room left to grow. As previously stated, do not offer any food until at least 1 week after amount or fangs completely hardened and shiny black.Her is my A. geniculata stretching after her moult a couple of years ago [ATTACH=full]39737[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
