You are soon going to have what you should have received at the beginning. Proper slings!
When they have moulted, they can still live together for a about 4 or 5 days before separating. After that wait another couple of days and then offer their first feed.
This is really good news. You are doing great

Brilliant thanks for the heads up, that was actually going to be my next question haha.. All but one has started going darker now and I'm sure the last one will follow suit soon enough, really looking forward to it, such a fascinating process to observeRE: the nymphs, that dark patch is a really good sign and the "milestone" moment I mentioned at the start of your thread.

Honestly, this entire thread has made my day. Considering you were put in one of the worst possible positions as a new T owner, I commend the effort you have put in to make sure these spoods get the best chance possible. The fact they seem to be doing so well is a testament to the quality of the care you have given based on the advise given here. I think you will do just fine with spiders.Hey guys thought I'd give you an update on the baby spoods, all 10 have successfully molted and are in individual tubs, thank you all for your help
All the species that you have recently received are also great T's to get yourself into the hobby. I also like the fact you have a nice variation in growth rates amongst those species. You will become marvelled from how quickly your LP (Lasiodora parahybana) puts on size especially compared to the Brachypelma.
Good luck with your spiders!

Thank you so much, it was definitely a situation I wasn't really prepared for but you guys on here guided me through it and all 10 have molted and are doing great, going to offer some food in a couple of days fingers crossed they'll take it and all will be good
I'm fascinated by all types of spiders, and decided on those 4 due to the difference in size and recorded behaviours, I know each T is an individual and behaviour can vary from molt to molt but that's another thing that fascinates me, they are not the creepy crawlies people make them out to be, they are intricate, delicate and super interesting, I thank you all again for helping me and being so welcoming, getting involved in the hobby really is a dream come true, and I am keen to learn as much as I can about my new friends

What an experience and such privilege. I hope to experience this aswell one day. Even to know someone who could pass along nymphs would be amazing. So happy for you and thanks for sharing this adventure!
