I bought my first Haplopelma lividum yesterday. She is about 2 years old. She lost one of her legs on the right side, and she also has a leg that is slightly smaller than the others. The guy at the store told me this was due to a bad molt. She was unhappy in her enclosure at the time. They moved her into another one and she seems to be content with this one.
I want to move her into a bigger enclosure, (the same size I use for all my tarantulas), but I’m afraid of stressing her out and causing another leg loss or worse. I have had tarantulas for 3 years, but none of my tarantulas have ever experienced a bad molt, so I’m not used to this.
Should I wait a while before moving her? And what should I add to the new enclosure apart from lots of substrate and a hiding place?
