That's what I was thinking too

About a 4 inch molt, kinda shredded it

He is alive, I'm so happy :happy: Hopefully next molt he'll do it on the ground like he's supposed to and not worry me so much!

Thank you guys, that makes me feel better. I did move his hide because his abdomen looked stuck between it and the wall. He molted above the hide and fell between the wall and his hide. I hope that didn't disturb him too much... I'll update when I get home from work. Fingers crossed, thanks...

My A. genic sling tried to molt on the side of his enclosure for some reason. Has anyone seen this before? His legs have been curled under him since I found him pinned between his hide and the wall of his enclosure. He is still twitching his legs, but i assume he's done for. Has anyone else's T...

My first molt! My little A. genic sling molted. He stopped eating 30 days ago so it's been a long time coming!

I just checked on him and he looks a little better, but when I move his enclosure he usually runs around a little bit and he didn't move at all this time. Is it possible he's just super close to molting? Lethargy is a sign of that, right?

He's only about .5-.75 inches and has been almost totally clear since I got him except for a black spot on his abdomen. I'm 99% sure he hasn't molted, unless he molted out into premolt haha. His abdomen is super fat, dark, and shiny and he's been refusing food for 2 weeks now.

Yeah, but his back legs were pulled up really close to his body too. I'm sure I'm just worrying too much, he's usually pretty active and out and about for such a tiny thing so seeing him act like that worried me.

That's what I'm hoping. I've had him a few days over a month

So when I checked my Ts this morning, my A. geniculata was in what looked to be a death curl. Fearing the worst, I opened his enclosure and pulled his bark hide off of him (he has an impressive burrow underneath it which he was in). When I picked up the bark, he sprinted like a normal terrified...

My genic sling is showing some pretty obvious premolt signs. This is after the last time he ate, which was Saturday. I know there are a lot of questions like this, but can anyone give an educated guess on how long it will take until he molts? I'm going on vacation on the 19th and I'm just...

I'm new to the hobby, but I haven't had any poor reactions so far when I talk about my pets. The most common thing people say when they find out I keep tarantulas is simply, "Why?" My mom has taken too teasing me about it though, she's convinced I'll someday be a crazy spider lady instead of a...

I guess I should say that I applied the frontline to my cats and my tarantulas are fine. I moved them to a high shelf so there wouldn't be any indirect contact from the cats walking by from fumes wafting or anything. After the cat's fur dried I moved the slings back to their shelf and they're...

I hope this is clear enough. When it molts I'll hopefully be able to confirm 100%, but what do you guys think from this?

Advantage does not work in the area I live. We have a terrible flea problem because of a huge colony (40+) of feral cats at my neighbours. After a long time of trial and error, frontline is the only spot on treatment that will work. I want to do everything I can to keep my Ts safe and my mammals...

I'm going to be applying frontline to both of my cats today, and I've heard that frontline can cause DKS in tarantulas. If this is true, what kind of precautions can I take to keep my two slings safe? Keeping them in a completely isolated room isn't a real option for me, what else can I do?

Thank you for your input! I've been reading around on this site for a few weeks and I was hoping you would respond to my question tbh because you're very knowledgeable. I'm probably going to keep them where they are now because they've been moved twice since yesterday and I'm sure it's...

Thank you!
