I've been caring for a female Red Back for the past 5 weeks now and she's just had a second batch of slings.
As I was about to lightly mist her home with a bit of water, I carelessly didn't check the nozzle and it shot out a stream of water and wet her and some of the little boogers. Enough that a tear-sized water drop was sitting on her abdomen (which has dried out now).
What concerned me is after this happened, she retracted her legs close to her body and kept them close.
So I decided to very lightly dry the enclosure with a hair dryer on "warm" setting from a distance and got most of the moisture out. She began moving about again and started to relocate some of her egg sacs and <edit> on an ant walking around in her enclosure.
Is there anything else I can do for her? I don't have another container to put them in right now and their current enclosure is almost all dry now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
PS: This is a photo of her in more "dryer" times.
