I just got up and my smallest nearly invisible sling is molting. Chilean Flame (Babe). Just a bit of her abdomen is still attached. She’s way less than a cm.

Iris, my A Geniculata is finally hungry/ hardened up enough to come out and show off her new colours. She molted just over a week ago. She’s got that chunky look they get when they get bigger.

Is it just me. Lol. OK. At 7am yesterday I noticed a wet glistening patch on the abdomen of my young adult female Xenesthis sp. intermedia. I scrutinised the options and of those possible I could only assume pre-moult leaking as she’s been in pre-moult for weeks. So I topped up her water and left her to it. Thankfully she flipped at 7pm and currently is recovering. Adding that to my list of strange things spiders do. I haven’t wanted to bother her other than a quick snap but she has changed from a dusty grey to a soft velvet black so can't wait to see her properly.

She is refusing to pose so best I can do for now. Xenesthis Sp Int.
