My approx 5in female A. Avicularia molted while hanging from one leg. Anybody ever experience this? Confused the crap out of me lol. She's fine though. Molt went smoothly.
@WolfSoon no, I don't think so. I think she purposely anchored herself with her claws so that she wouldn't fall while molting. I've never had a t get stuck in mesh before. I hope this wasn't the case. She's fine though luckily either way. Blew my mind though.
@BMQ I’m glad to hear she’s fine too. There are posts on here from members whose Ts got stuck dangling from mesh, so I was just wondering if this was one of those cases. I wouldn’t think any T would molt in that position on purpose, but maybe she’s a super ninja. Yeah, either way, glad it worked out!
@WolfSoon oh really, I may change that mesh then. Yea I was dumbfounded and for a crazy split second thought about helping her down. Of course I didn't but boy did I want to lol.
@BMQ Did you get to watch the whole molting process like that? That must’ve been nerve wracking for sure. I can’t even stand to watch my spiders molt in a normal position. Lol. It sounds like you did the right thing not trying to help.
