My brachypelma hamorii juvenile female cant seem to web I think she has damaged her spinnerets on her last molt- I am hoping this will correct itself next molt - anyone else had this problem with any of their Tarantulas????
Your little c elegans does look like it's in pre molt they do loose the heart shape when they are going through this stage.
I doubt it will be long before you will have a freshly molted T.
I thought at that size it would still be considered a sling?
I hope to get it out of this tiny stage soon it's making me nervous that it might not get to adulthood and it's a stunning species and one I want to have.
Thanks for all your replies I haven't got spahgnum moss I will have to get some tomorrow.
I will just leave the little T to it and hope it molts soon.
I haven't had the t for that long so it was well fed before it came to me
It's 0.5cm at the moment I have attached a picture of it. I decided to move it into a tiny round tub so I can try and see if its easier to keep in that.
My tiny little sling wont eat it's only tiny I have tried giving it pinhead crickets, larger dead crickets and tiny mealworms. Its currently in a vial should I swap it to something else to see if that will help it eat?
Thanks for the replies I guess I am just impatient as she is my biggest T and I am excited to see how big she is going to grow lol
Her water dish is full and I will leave her alone
My tlitocatl Albopolus hasnt still not molted and it's been a week and 5 days since her abdomen started going dark is this normal or should I be worried?
Would spraying down her home help her molt?
I put my little T in a little tub so I can do some maintenance and now she won't come out of the tub she seems to be playing dead it's been about 30 mins and she is still in the same position I'm not sure what to do I have tried gently to get her out but she is not budging.
Any ideas?
It molted the night I got it - I wish my other 3 Ts were willing to eat as well as this little guy or girl.
That's strange that your other 3 are not quite as willing to grow as your first one.
