Aphonopelma seemanni molt question.

[mandypattillo]

Just let's start with I'm new to the hobby.... my A. Seemanni recently molted, I was so excited to sex it, but I can't find the abdomen from the molt.. doesn't appear stuck. It's walking around drinking water and overall looks well. Should I be worried? It's about 3.5 inches.

Nah, probably tore it up. My seemani molted a month or so ago - she didn't even throw it out of the burrow. I could see it in the corner for a bit, mangled to bits, but I think she incorporated it into her burrow with it cuz it disappeared.

You should not be worried it’s drinking water- must say that’s just common sense.
