My B. Smithi has refused to eat for a month. Last night her abdomen was peach colored. Today it is black. I think she is going to shed. I am so stoked.

Good luck! With these kind of species that don't molt very often, it is very exiting isn't it! :)

This morning I went into the T room and my P Regalis sling molted! Now if my Smithi would just get with the program I would be good.

Last night my Haplo was acting goofy, this morning she molted! Wow. Still waiting on the Smithi.

Today my Haplo, which was an orangish brown, is now black with some very pronounced stripes on the knees! I truly think it is a Longipes!?

Yes, my Smithi hasn't eaten in about a month. This morning she's on her back, I am so excited, this will be the fourth shed! I'll post some pics.

My Smithi is finally on her back. I have been observing her in the dark via a red light. There has been little movement. It has been about one hour. I am so stressed right now. I feel like a new dad in the waiting room of the maternity ward. I truly hope she survives this molt.

I got a molt finally last night! Awesome. Her color is so beautiful. I stayed up all night and watched her with my red flashlight.
