[QUOTE="Steph, post: 27421, member: 3015"] I'm glad you said that, I received the sling late last weds afternoon, and aside from lightly spritzing her enclosure every few days, I've left her alone. Then this morning, about half an hour ago, I gave her 2 fruit flies and the sling's response was to completely ignore them, at least while I had her enclosure sitting on the dining table. I watched her for several minutes, and she didn't seem to move a muscle. It was time to spritz down her box again, so I did that and then put her back on the shelf it sits on. Meanwhile the two flies crawled around apparently oblivious to her. One of the folks I got her from said most of the slings from that clutch had molted a few weeks before now. But the bottom line is, I really don't know where she's at in her molt cycle. Ho hum. It's just kinda hard not to be anxious till the spider takes her first meal since arriving here. Patience is one of those virtues that I'm always working on. :) [/QUOTE]
