Woo! My first sling ever (well one of the 3 I got at once) one of 2 B. albopilosums is sitting all huddled up light white grey and that nice bright red the carapace gets after a young molt. He was about 3/4" and I'm hoping for a good inch now. I can see the urticating hairs now on him. His sacmate should molt any day now. Last time was within hours of each other.
The smaller B. albopilosum from a different sac is pre molt too. It's under 1/2" though.
Sad news, my little guy died after molting...
Had three 2nd instar curlies (appropriately named Larry, moe, and curly)... Larry and curly molted ab a lil less than a month ago. Moe took forever to molt, and he did last night but did not make it... Rip little moe
OBT sling molting RIGHT NOW! It's sac mate must be soon to follow because it only has 6 legs and I'd wager must want to grow them back. Plus they're both like so dark they're almost black.
I'm curious to see just how much size it gets.
My H. maculata #1 "Togo" recently molted too. Gotta be 3/4" now at least. And it shows itself more often. I'm still waiting on B. albopilosum #2 and P. regalis #2. And I think the adult OBT is pre molt too. Or gravid.
