Hey everyone!
I didn’t think I was going to go through this experience so soon, but wow! Let me tell you it was extremely fascinating to say the least. I’m sure everyone has been through it a million times. But it was crazy and cool! I’m so glad I was able to experience this. I walked in the room to check on him after work last night and BAM, he was upside down. It’s behavior of going in to hiding and all the new webbing as of late now makes sense (after countless hours on the Internet reading and research).
Anyways, I left it be. Hopefully after I pull out the molt later in the week I can find out what the sex is. I also upped the humidity in the room just a tad to help with the process. It seems to be doing ok now, just resting. I was a little worried because I read that it’s a very hard process on their bodies and they sometimes don’t make it…but like everyone says, they know what their doing and patience is key! It has a full bowl of water at the moment. In a few days I’ll make sure to add some more and just let it recover.
I wanted to thank everyone for all their help and advice with my new kiddo! Especially Arachnoclown when I have questions!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Holidays!!!
