    A. Metallica Bad Molt?

    As Becca says, try increasing the humidity a little. You may also want to try dabbing the area with a little warm water to soften it further. If it doesn't come away easily, then leave it be :)

    How Much Time?

    Good question, probably something like a few months or so, but it's obviously better to use is whillst it's as fresh as possible. They're usually very secretive about making their webs, so it would be difficult to tell when he last made one.

    Viewing The Cobalt Tarantula

    Don't forget that there are always exceptions to the rule. For example, I've read reports of people being able to handle certain specimens that have a remarkably subdued temperament :eek: So it sounds like you have a little sweety on your hands (NB I'm not saying you should try and hold her...

    Tarantula hair

    Enclosure mods for Cobalt Blues

    That's fine, I’m sure you did. But you have to appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to portray humour on a forum as it could be interpreted in a number of ways. Use the smileys ;) :D

    Locust as feeder?

    I also use Locusts as feeders, except for slings obviously as they are still too small. Provided you keep them well fed ;) :D It's sometimes practical to clip their claws, just before feeding, in order to stop them climbing. Maybe a little cruel but effective. They can be a little...
