Hey gang,
I've got a small Golden Orb Weaver in a large mesh enclosure, and am slightly concerned that it died after the moult.
My assumption is based on the fact that after the moult, the empty shed was left in the web (fine) but I can't see the freshly mounted spider anywhere in the enclosure? I'd expect her to be hanging in her web, hardening up.
She 99% of the time sits in her huge intricate web system and very occasionally runs down to drink water from the plants after misting.
Did she fall and die from the moult or do they hide at ground level or in the plants whilst they harden up?
Thanks in advance
