I am a sort of new keeper, My father had a Tarantula when I was a teenager. So I have been around them and researching them for years. I ended a long term relationship a few months ago and she absolutely despised arachnids, lizards, basically anything that was not a common "pet". I now have 2 T's my first is a Tliltocatl albopilosus (or for those who have been around a long time, the Brachypelma albopilosum) it has molted in my care twice so far and seems to be only 1 instar away from juvenile. My second is not often bred, I have read because they are rather difficult. It is a Caribena laeta or the Puerto Rican Pink Toe. It is definitely in pre-molt and it seems to be the 4th or 5th instar, I can see its new pink exoskeleton beneath the old gorgeous blue it has had since I got it at 1/2". I have read that they will sometimes keep eating in pre-molt, but I have never heard of them still eating this late into it. It has been eating every 3 days and its pre-molt started at least 2 weeks ago. I stopped feeding it out of caution, I don't want loose feeders running around. I am not worried or asking for advise. Just wondering if anyone on here has a Caribena laeta that has acted like this as a sling (it is only about 1").
