When to worry

[briarpatch10]

My Nhandu coloratovillosus has been flipped over for about 3.5 hours in molt with no real movement going on...how long can a molt go on? When is a good time to start worrying?

I just checked and her last molt was right at 2 hours

I had a juvie male start a molt before I went to work and eight hours later when I got home he was just finishing. He molted into a gorgeous mm.

wow that was long

at 7:05 this evening she finished. That was the longest molt I had seen. Glad to know some just take longer than others

my G. Rosea took a good 8 hours. My little P. irimnia took like 4 hours. i think it might have something to do with the size of the spider too.
