I found a place where I can safely put my Ts its a table far from where I usually see the ants. My regalis just finished molting and its had a really bad molt obviously to the stress it went through before molting. Its lost a leg and a pedipalp. Can it survive until the next molt without a pedipaplp?
They are pretty capable animals, I've had a p.muticus that only had 4 working legs due to a bad molt and it managed just fine

Wow. Did you still feed it live prey or prekilled?
It was able to take out live prey but I also gave it large paralyzed prey to get it fatter quicker. I simply crushed the neck, the cricket would still twitch and was alive but couldn't move or hurt the spider.

Ok so I just sexed it via molt and it turns out that she is actually fQUOTE]
Is he mature? Does he have emboli on his palps yet? With him missing a palp, that would kind of complicate things with future breeding I think.
