Lampropelma violaceopes hibernation?

[J Morningstar]

It was looking brilliant eating well, molted with no issues what so ever, and seemeed fine. Then silked off it's burrow and has dissapeared for three weeks.Should I be concerned? I know I am new to t's but I am concerned.

I'm not sure, but since getting cold, mine has done the exact same thing. It ended up molting and eating once, then went back and sealed itself off. It's still I there, but it looks plump, so I'm not worried.

EDIT:
I probably won't attempt to feed unless it comes out, or breaks it's seal.

 

[J Morningstar]

I can't see mine so I was worried. but thank you. Anyone else?

Mine has also sealed itself away but its do for molt....

Mine had webbed up it's entire enclosure, but I had to rehouse it as it was far to large to moult in the container it was in.

Since I re housed it, It has webbed up a little bit but nothing really and is still eating; so either I disturbed it, or it was just webbing a lot.

Sounds like classic moulting.
Up the humidity and make sure the heat is at least 75F

Although this species is arboreal...they will also burrow if given the opportunity.

Thank you everyone, Oh yes it is adept at burrowing, but it usually sat atop it at night, now it has "silked" itself in and dissapeared. I think it is a sign of a molt too but it has been a week. The last time it molted it was a day. I'll up the humidity a bit and hope for the best.

 

[J Morningstar]

okay, I'm not worried anymore. I saw a flury of very long legs and then two spinnerets telling me I wasn't welcome to watch...we're all good.

 

[J Morningstar]

Has any one seen theirs yet?...I got the one look and that was that.

Mine's still small enough that I can spy on it through the vial, but I have noticed that it's less 'out and about' lately.

I've got three (all about 2") and I haven't seen any of them in a month. So this behavior seems at least to be consistent for the species.

Mine is a bit over 4.5" and is out every day. She does have a nice burrow that she retreats quickly into if she notices that you're looking at her though.

Mine's still in there, hasn't come out yet. I seen she's webbed her molt to the wall in there too. So much for getting it intact.:wall:
