Last night, my big emilia girl surprised me by creating a mat of webbing and then flipping. She's about 4" and last molted in May, I couldn't believe she was already going to molt. But she lost two of her front legs in her last molt so it must be that during those 3-4 months, she was using the food and time to specifically create new legs. Sure enough, this morning, she had molted and now has two spindly legs. I didn't realize they would do this, pretty cool
GRRR I have two little arndsti slings, I've yet to get a molt from either and they're past 2" now. A few weeks ago, I was finally able to get my sling #1's molt before it had a chance to annihilate it. Alas, the abdomen part had been torn off and was lost. Yesterday, I found my #2 sling had molted and hadnt destroyed it's molt yet. I dug down and got it and I'll be damned if the abdomen hasn't also been torn off. You gotta be kidding me
At some point within the last couple hours my G. Pulchripes molted <3 His/Her adult colors are starting to come in finally! What a great back to school gift
Just woke up to one of our MF purpurea sitting in a puddle of hemolymph after a molt last night. Appears she injured a rear leg during the process.Threw some flour on it and am hoping for the best since she has a date sitting on the shelf.. At least the bleeding has stopped.........
