Sorry, haven't been on in awhile and forgot about this thread, given the life of a T/ owner is just so exuberant. I actually did see it pop out of the top of the prosoma, and it kinda did this pumping action to release itself, but it did the legs first and then finished with the big caboose, which by the time the opisthosoma was really small.

Oh I gave it a while before I did anything but look at it. I actually am up to a new project right now involving dubia roaches, and animals that like eatng dubia roaches, and Shelob is one of those critters. CHeers!
