Hey Gang,
Sending out my frustration with Poecilotheria today....
What in the heck is the secret to getting these turds to drop sacks? All of mine seem to want to molt out. Candling yellow, but just can't get them to drop. Had a couple molt out. Had one candle yellow and for some reason isn't anymore.
Room is 78 degrees and 75% humidity. Typical cycle is:
Pair a couple times. Power feed till they candle yellow and quit eating. Then they seem to lounge around like a couch potato untill they molt out.
I have heard of - Rehomeing them to trick them into making a new home and getting them to drop. I've heard of - soaking the substrate till its wet. I have heard of misting 3 to 5 times per day.
Nothing works!
Someone has to have a secret to these frustrating beasts! I'm willing to send slings to whomever can help me unlock a successful secret!
Will someone please help me unlock the secret? I have something (probably something stupid) that i'm doing or not doing that is holding it up.

Unsure about P.formosa, but she has been sealed in for a long time, but can't candle her.
Paired P.pederseni, but don't think she is gravid.
