The other Day I went in to the "T" room to find that my G.Rosea sling had molted for the 2nd time since I have had it. :D When I got done putting it in something bigger I went to bed Only to find the next moring that my dad's Rosea sling had molted! :D Havin a good week are we? As i was lookin at it I Noticed it was walking around with it's molt hanging off it's back leg. I reached in with the tweasers and gently pulled it off and put it in a bottle. Later on When I looked at it-The leg that the molt was attached to was deformed and it wasnt walking with the leg. :eek: I figured it was just one of the molts that the deformation would go away in the next 2 molts.....WRONG!!!! I came in an hour later to find it in the death curl! :eek: He tried the I.C.U thing for a day but nothing happened so we figured it was a gonner. :( So overall We had 1 Good molt and 1 Fatal molt.....

Ahh well it happens. The little bugger was growing soooooooooooo slow anyway. In the past couple of weeks however I have had good molts from my B. Albopilosum, A. Geniculata, and G. Aureostriata. I still have a G. Iheringi and a A. Hentzi in premolt right now and wish they'd hurry it up!:? ;)

You put the sling in a bigger cage, while it was molting? Never disturb them during molting. Sorry for your loss.
FYI, the sling was moved AFTER it had molted for the 2nd time, not during~;)
