Way too much sense from @octanejunkie !!

Thank you both @octanejunkie & @timc for your advice. I'll refrain from feeding them until they start prowling about!

Reference for those who don't get it!

OK cool, Is 1 medium cricket a week too much do you think? I let them settle when they arrived before feeding them. Then offered food twice once settled to make sure they weren't hungry and after that its pretty much 1/week (+a prekilled for the sling) and they've never refused.

I have 3 G.pulchripes approx 5cm head/body length and 1 L.parahybana that is about 1cm overall. I've had them about 6 weeks so far and I'm just wondering what the interval for moulting ought to be. They are about 22-26C and get fed 1/week.

Maybe juvenile spiders huff paint when we don't look?

Arachnus Deathicus

Beautiful spood :D

Generally speaking the cuticle/outer skin is water repellant so it is almost impossible for them to drown in regular water. If the water had a surfactant like soap in it it could be a different story.

Thanks a million :-)

Awesome, I will check it out!!

Whats heat tape?

Here are the pictures of the 3, one is outside, another self-entombed and the last hiding In terms if climbing space there is about 5 inches which I figure is ok as they are about 2.5 inches in overall length and will continue to grow.

Its packed enough, its not fluffy, but they can move it, #2 has blocked the entrance to her hide and dug an escape tunnel so I don't know if she's going into moult or anything. I will get pictures in a bit That's a pretty good setup. Right now I have a shelf on a bookshelf with 2 heatpads side...
