[QUOTE="hollydamery, post: 134002, member: 28065"] With all the questions I have about my new baby, I'm glad to have a place to ask some experts. I bought a B.Smithi sling from the pet store at the beginning of June. I haven't named it yet because I don't know the sex nor am I sure it will survive. It was eating a cricket once a week and stopped. It hasn't eaten now for weeks - not since the last week of June. I do know that this is typical behavior of a spider in a pre-molt phase, but it seems so long to go for such a tiny thing. I have done my best to keep the enclosure moist. It doesn't look dehydrated to me, but I am checking it multiple times a day for the molt process but am so anxious that I will find it dead. This is him or her below. I guess I want reassurance that other slings have gone a month without food and thriv [/QUOTE]
