My bold jumper is acting strange.

My jumper came out of his web after being in there for 3 days. I assumed he was molting for those 3 days but after emerging he seems slow and weak. He was in the same spot all day and after about 12 hours moved up to his old web. I’ve been spraying and offered food but he doesn’t seem like he has the same energy or is interested in food. Is he still in pre molt or had a bad molt? If anyone can help me out with some advice that would be great.

Sounds like what happened to my Platycryptus undatus female after her last molt. When they molt, their exoskeletons can take a few days to harden completely. So they might be slow or inactive for a while. But than they perk up and go back to “normal”

Thank you for the insight. I’ve been worried about my jumper. This is giving me an ease of anxiety.
