Eucratoscelus Pachypus advice wanted

Do any of you have any experience with these? I've had a 1.5" one for around five weeks now, it hasn't eaten, though has built a nest... Just wondering if any of you have any facts on how long the pre-moult stage lasts etc

The person I got it from said it hadn't eaten or moulted for a 'long time' either... I'm guessing it'll moult anytime soon, but re-assurance is always nice!

Cheers

All I can tell you is that they are verry slow moulters. I had one that took about 21/2 months to moult, and like yours it didn't eat a thing . Just give it some time as long as it's gut is large it will come through. Good Luck.

yeah these guys definately arent the fastest growers thats for sure. i got mine at the begining of Dec. 02' and it was only about 1.5". its molted once since then and is now like 1.75-2" if my memory serves me. it hasnt eaten in a while so hopefully it molts soon.

Ahh cheers guys! It's a boring little thing, I'm suffering the 'empty-tank-syndrome' when it comes to that spider
