Hey all, my Tarantula finally molted. I wasn't sure why she was not accepting Crickets, and above her spinnerets was getting patchy in her hair, she never flicked at me once.
She is a Gramastola rosea. I finally was able to identify her sex looking at the molt. I had fallen asleep and the next morning I wake up and see her ontop of her log and a nice molt on a molt web. I belive that is what they are called, correct me if I am wrong, i'm still new at this. And before hand she was missing a leg. A week after she molted she lost her leg again. I'm not sure what it is but it seems ok. I watched her closely for a week to watch for continued bleeding but there was none.
Does anyone know why she would lose a leg? and anything I can do to prevent it next time? I feel like like I did something wrong.
