Greetings all. My B. albopilosum female just molted and I noticed something odd. The abdomen seems to be misshapen. Have a look: That is a picture from straight above her, face first in the water dish. Is it due to her still soft exo, or possibly a bad molt? Is it anything to worry about...

Yeah she laid a mat down and a 'defensive' web with hairs in it right around there. Was pretty awesome to watch. Here she is, still in the dish. I want to give her water but I don't want to disturb her.

My 6" female B. albo is molting, and out in the open! I got a shot through the side of her enclosure, not opening the top till well after shes done.

Or he could be sharing a cool video he made, and since its just a video, I doubt it'd fall under the rules posted. Lighten up. Thanks for the video Rob!

Beautiful scorp! Glad to see another Reno-ite around here. :D

That is SO cool! My kids would love that!

My G. rosea went for 2 years without eating. I got her Fathers Day '06, she ate until October of that year, then steadfastly refused food for two years, until she molted on 11/03/08. She still drank, and was active, but she would not touch a cricket, a roach, a pinky, nothing. She's now eating...

Thats sad, good on you for adopting them!

Cancer, I'm not too sure. I do know that both of my boys are almost 7 years old, and while one has an adrenal gland issue, he's being medicated for it and otherwise is as healthy as a horse.

Thanks waldo! Also had my two P. irminia molt as well as my P. imperator! All in the same day! :D :D :D

Keep in mind that most ferrets in US pet stores come from Marshall Farms, who descents and spays/neuters their ferrets before they send them out. You can tell if your furro is from Marshall if they have two little dots tattooed on their (I believe) right ear.

Woot! Been waiting for this for a while. Quick premolt though, he ate a couple of nights ago. At the moment he's about 2". :D

Thanks for all the help guys. I know at some point in the future I'll be keeping plenty of these tinier guys, so any and all advice is much appreciated. I'll lean towards the drier side from here on out.

She is a doll. (No, I don't as a rule handle my spiders, but she came out to say hi, and a co worker had a camera handy)

That's what I've heard, and thats what I want to believe. Funny thing is, I've only ever lost 4 spiders, and 3 of them have been B. vagans!

Yeah his is alive and trucking, and we keep them identically.

I recently acquired 3 B. vagans slings. One went to a buddy as part of a trade. These guys were TINY, easily the smallest spiders I've ever kept. 1/4", maybe. I bought a fruit fly culture, fed them well, kept them moist (but not soaked) so they'd have water. After a few days, one of em...

I had a versi sling that did this as well. And an A. avic. I wouldn't worry too much. Mine eventually settled down and webbed themselves up.

Looks wicked. I'd need a 2x, and if you had em, would definitely buy one, possibly two.
