    Nice!
    Yep looks like she laid down a nice little mat to molt on.

    Congrats!

    Not usually. She webbed a lot this time because she laid down a molting mat. It's like a hammock to support her softly while molting.

    It's out! How long before it's legs get rigid and it starts moving around normally? Just a bit concerned. Nerve wracking watching it all. Haha.

    For slings it happens a lot faster but it takes longer for adults to harden up. Don't offer food for a week or so. Make sure her fangs are black again

    Just gonna watch it for now, give it a roach this time next week. Gorgeous copper color to it's head, even before the molt and especially now after.

    So what part of the molt do I take a picture of to see if it's male or female? I'm thinking male, because it's so leggy.

    Just let it be. At that size give it 10-12 days before feeding. Of if you see that the fangs are a really dark black, should be ok.

    You will want to look inside the abdomen area. You'll see 4 book lungs. Look in the area between the first set of book lungs. The set closer toward the fangs.
