Hello fellow hobbyists I know I post here a lot but honestly this is the only place where people know how to care for more obscure species of spiders (and inverts overall) so Iam writting here again
Today I saw my Cheiracanthium mildei (you may remember it from my other thread and/or see it on my PFP xD, atleast at the time of writting this) in a pretty big sac that it built, the sac is much more bigger than the one that it normaly builds for sleeping
I suppose is it for molting as from my experience spoods can build sacs for motling (for example one of my Gnaphosids built small sac everytime it was in pre-molt, tho other individual of the same species doesn't, but more about them some other time
)
Does anyone know what does this behaviour mean, do you have any experience with it or is it is just not known because C. mildei's life history isn't known much ?
On the pictures you can see the sac and my specimen in it
