It seems the last stuck molt was just an accident then since this C versicolor molted just fine. Adult colors :D time for an enclosure upgrade.

So this is my C. versicolor. (s)he refused food a week before and has now spun this hammock. I think (s)he might be molting soon, however, between the hammock and the lid is only 3cm. Is that safe? I don't want another T that gets stuck during the molting process.

One thing i found odd, is that this molt came very unexpected and it has just molted a few weeks prior. Abdomen wasn't even noticeably big.

seems it made a molting hammock about 2 inches below the lid. was that too small? i moved the sling in the middle of the enclosure for the pic. the hammock was lower to the side.

this one was beginning to show his purples through the blue. I was keeping them dry (with water dish ofc) with enough ventilation.

I mean the first three were so small but these last two were about 2 inch legspan so i was like, they're so hardy (and they were). this one is half stuck and curled.

I started out with 5 C. versicolor slings around 1,5 years ago. three died relatively quickly do to some errors i made with the husbandry and they just seemed frail. but the remaining two were doing very well and were beautiful and getting pretty big. with 2cm bodylength i assumed they were out...

I havent been here for a long time and i have some really adorable new pictures that i should go and update soon. For now i recorded one of my C. versicolor slings (two of the survivors, knock on wood) munching on a cricket:

That looks like a really fat pre-molt butt.

My little female has bulldozed so much, both her water dishes are buried. My 3 slings all molt around the same time. They are not even 1cm in bodylength, but have their adult colors now :)

then I will put him in the freezer. He was the first Tarantula I bought. Thanks for the memories and rest in peace little one.

They tend to destroy or dump the molts somewhere (waterdish), but some of my Ts had the habit of keeping the molt in their hide and tossing them out 100 days later. Only take them if you can without upsetting the T. the one in my profile pic gave a threatpose when i attempted to get the molt...

Ive just found my B. albo MM in a death curl. I thought he had died since he had not moved at all. Until i gently straightened one of his legs from underneath him and he very slowly put the leg back under in the death curl position. He has been mature for nearly 11 months now. He's clearly...

I have seen my MM B. albo make a spermweb in broad daylight and then he went upside down to fill his pedipalps. Too bad your unsexed T turned out to be a male :(

I know how you feel, my first T turned out to be a male as well.

*reads topic title* Midnight snacks are the best! Seriously though, I havent had any trouble feeding the Ts during the day.

Well, het is eigenlijk mijn zorgverzekering die daar kosten voor in rekening brengt als ik het eigen risico overzicht zo zie. Back on topic. Happy for you that your eye is doing better @Bugcatcherbilly

Well they charge a fee for dispensing the meds during 'business hours'. When I left the hospital, I got some antibiotics 'outside of business hours' which resulted in a €25 fee plus the actual medicine cost.

I have had major surgery last january. So i need to pay that €450 in one go without having a job. Reasonable indeed :p Also i need some medication for life. The pills itself cost about €4, but they charge an additional fee for picking up the meds at the pharmacy resulting in a €20+ fee total
