ive tried... its all smushed up though and I don't want to break it all apart in an attempt to do that. it took me forever just to get it to the way it is now.
what i do is i use the bristols of the paint brush for coaxing and open it.. iv also used cotton swabs[Q-tips] and even tooth picks to spread it.. my first one i actually spread with a unbent paper clip. did the job. but i prefer the brush now so much easier :p

I think you should save up the molts so you can see the growth and color progress from sling to maturity... Also that pic seems to blurry to tell if it's male of female to me. Maybe someone's got a better eye

Got a versi two weeks ago and thought it looked awfully dark and just found it molted. Cute little blue sling. :)

My little E. murinus molted in burrow and must have had a problem, because he didn't make it. [emoji22] Got him as a .25" sling and he had made it to almost 2".

L.p sling molted last night. He's gone from 0.5" to 1.25" DLS in 3 molts over a 5 month period.
