l have 3 young Sicarious, that are on their 3rd molt me and l believe to be about 1/2 grown. I’m keeping them on excavator clay and coarse granite sand, never misted, fed twice week, and kept between 70-83F. One of them recently lost one if its legs in the molt. The spider seems fine and has fed since the apparently difficult molt. Is there anything l should do, to prevent this problem in the future? Will the leg grow back? Should l moisten a cotton ball and place it in the enclosure to add some humidity, when they are plump and refusing prey, indicating premolt?
l have kept scorpions and tarantulas and currently have about 80 scorpions, so l have some experience, but admittedly, l seem to be on a learning curve, as l seem to lose about 20% of 2i desert scorpions l receive, though never due to molting. l’ve never experienced a molt that didn’t go perfectly, so l’m hoping this was a fluke.
