Also my Nhandu tripepii sling kicked out a molt from the burrow.

The Augacephalus ezendami sling I just got molted two nights ago and it came out today.

Now @Wolfram1 can stop giggling at me when I misidentify photos of H. macs because I'll be able to tell the difference now.

Well you know your very obscure spiders, ones i have never even researched, but then there was THE Heteroscodra maculata, the one and only, and .... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: great fun

In my defense they have similar patterns and colors under overexposed lighting... I mean I did it twice so I really have no defense, but still. LOL

So cute 😍 just got 2 myself! If you add dry moss n ripped up leaf litter they will use it to make a turret like Ephebopus cyanognathus, or my 2 have 😊

:O!!

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to rehouse it into a substrate with less bits but I decided to wait cause it molted... but when I do, I'll be sure to mix some in to make sure it has building materials.

I noticed my Ornithoctoninae LOVE lining their turrets with dried moss, didn't know this species did it too!

I didn't either till I got them I haven't seen anyone mention it but it is something both of mine have done . They both started with cork moss and leaf litter and both have burrowed under the cork then piled everything ontop to make tiny turrets. 20240109_071011.jpg
Just looks like a heap of stuff form the side but if you look from the top

It's a tiny secret base and 20240109_070845.jpg
Both did exactly the same thing .
Mine are about 3cm dls atm so not big either so I assume as your baby looks the same size ish they will do the same too.
Super interested to see if yours does! no one I talked to had noticed this behaviour so I am desperate to see if it's all ezendami slings or just mine being strange 😆 Please keep me updated 😁🙏

Mine is actually only 2cm at most. It looks bigger than it is because of the clip on lens.

I'll definitely keep you updated on this. I haven't seen many people with this baboon either for some reason.

My ezendami doesn't make turrets - it doesn't seem to make anything, just moves everything from one side of the pot to the other and then back again every few days. I think it needs a rehouse. My Augacephalus breyeri, on the other hand, have both made little turrets - one against the side and the other right in the middle. I'll try to get pics but they're all very reclusive.

That's so cool 😎 I wonder why it's not mentioned in any posts, I am sure if people knew they were architects they would be much more popular. Thank you NMTs can't wait to see your little ones masterpiece 😊

I have actually mentioned turrets probably dozens of times with regards to ezendami...while not all make them, its pretty common for them to make them......I have raised (and bred) many ezendami, and I would say most will make turrets if given the means to do so.

My oldest OBT molted recently... but it webbed the exuvia right up against the chamber wall, so not going to be able to take a peek at this one either. That tease is probably 3" now. It has unsealed the burrow entrance but I'll wait another day to feed it.

Recently molted Augacephalus ezendami got a substrate swap and some moss added. Turret time? here we goooo
