Hi all,
I am going to seperate my Usambara spiderlings this weekend and am looking for some advice.
I was told to wait until they were 2nd instar before removeing them, but I'm not sure how to tell that they are ready.
When they first emerged, they were orangish/brown and had large abdomens. Now most of them are very dark with almost black legs. Very different in apperance, but they still have decent size abdomens.
Any thoughts on when to seperate them? Could most of them already be 2nd instar? Its been about 3 weeks since they first emerged.
Thanks!
Ralph
