Sadly a mismolt of the internal parts of the exuvie is one of the few things we can do nothing about it is rare, but it does happen in your case i don't see the sucking stomach on the molt. it may have broken off after the molt, but i expect this was the ultimate cause. As it got weaker it...

might be, but be sure to check out the male acessory glands just to be sure you are not jumping to conclusions there is a fine older recource by Hancock & Hancock about sexing immature male spiders on the WSC.

yea, insane what they can survive

Has it molted its sucking stomach? for reference: https://arachnoboards.com/gallery/psalmopoeus-irminia-molt.64935/ If it hasn't it may have lost the ability to feed or drink alltogether...

its a small, wall-mounted terra cotta pot, don't bother copying that, you want the spider to be able to burrow, not encase it from all sides, a half round of cork or bark is best the picture is pretty wierd anyway, not sure what those boards are in there for...

you can offer her prekilled food, but i would try not to disturb her too much so maybe once a month is enough, you dont have to though most likely, if she is a young female, she may have produced a "phantom sack", basically an infertile in essence you can leave it with her for about 30-90 days...

This reminds me of a recent post by a german keeper i know, she recounted her juvenile A. geniculata used to stack up to 4 bottle cap disches in a corner in the form of a neat tower, she would then take it apart and spread them around the enclosure only to find them stacked back up the next day...

unsexed juvenile lets hope the recent pairing of my other 1.1 went well and there will be a sack soon :) or perhaps if she molts i will try to pair them again

to be clear, laying on its side implies that it no longer has any contact to a surface with its legs, it seems what you ment was that it was sitting on the side wall, which they can do from time to time, not moving for long periods of time is also normal seems like you still need to get...

any current pics of the spider and its position? i'd really like to see what you are talking about before making any determinations

sadly it was already disprooven, at least the paper was, could still be a new species...

Verroa destructor mites?

true, my bad, i was thinking about larvae in general, forgot i have to use the singular there :rofl: sadly that seems to be the prevailing answer, i saw it somewhere thus it has to be so XD, though to be fair the definitions are all made up by humans at some point

i saw that, but why? L stands for larvae right? and by definition a larvae is the earliest stage that hatches from an egg

yes please, this is so strange i have to see it XD

I dont think so, but then again i would love to see where you got that from, noone sells Larvae 1.Egg 2.Prelarvae(EWL) 3.Larvae (1-3) most of the time just (L) only few species have more than 1 larval stage and then since it counts as a mini metamorphosis, nympths sport additional features...

nice since you are always so exact, what made you choose (Nympths) as the way to go for classifying the different stages from the very first hatchlings? i any reason?

just bald where did you read that? during shipping they sometimes kick hair or bump into the stuffing, thereby rubbing some urticating setae off hence spiders usually look a little beat up after, even with good, tight packaging

agreed with both the slings would likely be fine, but you really haven't left yourself much room for errors with waterings

mushroom fruiting also has to do with co2 levels so down there the microorganisms using up o2 produce much higher co2 levels then at the surface or the gap between soil and glass, the lower co2-level there mimics surface levels while providing more humidity, which stimulates the growth, hence...
