I woke up this morning to a surprise. River, my Aphonopelma sp. New River rust rump sling, was curled up at the bottom of its burrow. Upon closer inspection, I could see a molt next to it. I wasn't even expecting it to molt, its a teensy tiny sling and was very pale colored. It hadn't even started darkening whereas its bigger brother Cody (A. chalcodes) has. Alas, molted it did and only got a tiny bit bigger. But it looked all the world like it was in a death curl and not moving. I left it in its burrow, which was dark and humid, maybe it'll be ok when I get home from work. Hopefully...
