:( I have been waiting for the last of my 4 P. irminia slings to molt. Checked in this morning and noticed he was in half rotation getting into position. Got home today and checked. He never made it thru the molt. He was still there and I could tell he was gone cause his legs were in weird positions. I pulled him out and sure enough he never completed the molt. Carapace was popped, but that's about as far as it got. Poor little thing. The abdomen was still plump so there was no rupture, but it did seem wet. Probably just a wet molt. It's not the first sling I've lost, but it doesn't make it any easier. On a good note...now I have room at the inn...lol
