Hello! I'm a first time amblypygi owner, I've had my baby Alcyoneus for 2 months and a bit now and things have been smooth sailing so far but recently I've just been a bit puzzled on when to be expecting moults and if she has enough space, at her current size, to moult? (And if she even is female?)
I'm not entirely sure on her age, when purchasing I was informed she'd be around sub-adult (this was before seeing her) which I was perfectly happy with since raising a baby seemed daunting, but she seems rather small for a sub adult. (But maybe i'm just misinformed? Very possible.) As a result I'm not sure how frequent her moults should be, and finding resources on how to tell the age of amblypygi has proven difficult. I also don't know when her last molt was, sorry :[
Anyway, here's her current setup (hand for scale, first photo is how it currently is - the one with the hand is from when I first got everything), and a few photos of the gal herself!
