I’m going out of the country tomorrow and my beautiful girl molted today. I’ll be back in two weeks, is that waaaay too long for her to wait post molt?
This is a sad update. My little Psalmopeus reduncus passed away a day after. After they passed I checked the enclosure and they had no chance to begin with. The webs were wet with the yellowish liquid that I assume must have been the blood. Their fate was sealed even before I got off work...
Thank you. I definitely will. Here is how it is now. It took me literally eight hours to get it out. It’s moving still and it’s breaking my heart seeing it like that. It’s my fist bad molt and by god what a bad molt it is.

thank you
Thank you for taking the time to get back to me! She’s been in there for about four months now. She’s always been super destructive and active and drinks a lot of water. And sometimes just kinda passes out by the water dish. But the climbing the walls and sticking her fangs out of the...
