Baby Spider Finally Molted!!

[lmramsey89]

Ok. My A. Avicularia (Pinky Toe-Scadero) just molted. it was 3/4-1" LS but it's still too early to tell how big it is now. The only reason im so excited is that I've had it FOREVER like...months and months and it hadn't molted. Weirdo. I fed it a bunch and kep it warm too, I wanted to get it out of the Im-A-Sling-So-Im-Randomly-Gonna_die_now stage, so i was powerfeeding. And it still took forever! oh well. Molt successful. I only have a before picture so far. Also. FIRST of my T's to molt since I've had them!!

*sigh* so proud...*tear*

(ps...Yay for salt shaker house!)

That's a beautiful little one! Congrats!

Love the salt-shaker home too!!!!

 

[lmramsey89]

Thank you!! She's so darn cute...and this is terrible! All i wanna do is have her be all hardened up so i can examine her!! haha

Very cute T, but it might be a good idea to change the substrate in its salt shaker wood chips tend to mold especially when kept moist.

Sorry for the confusing pic. The top pic was the deli cup the sling came home from the pet store with. She was immediately transferred to her pre-made salt shaker house (CUTE) with coco fiber

PS...if you've never tried salt shakers, they were INVENTED for avics. They retain humidity but have EXCELLENT ventilation *without any...ANY...modification*. it is the absolute perfect climate.



and ty, she is rather cute

 

[lmramsey89]

OH. And it's great for their webs apparently. she is almost invisible now

Ok that's cool. I like the shaker enclosure.

cool! avicularas are awesome. My a. versiculor sling molts every two months though, one spent eating then the other month in pre-molt and then bam new tarantula. I'm geting an Avic. amazonica soon. hehe

 

[lmramsey89]

TY! And very cool! I really want a Versi

 

[lmramsey89]

This is so frustrating. I made her a GORGEOUS new house but she's not hardened enough for me to rehouse her yet

 

[lmramsey89]

See? SO much fun to make. I've already made the next two sizes
