β¨οΈWe have a few siblings of this girl that have to do some growing! Those that were ready are all adopted so thank you for giving them homes!β¨οΈ
β¨οΈWe found this girl molting outside of her hammock. We thought we would watch to make sure she got through it successfully. When a spider molts, it is growing! Their exoskeleton comes off (even their eyes), and their new exoskeleton accommodates the size they've grown to. After a molt, you can see new colors on your spider and even new patterns on their abdomen! It's always a surprise what they will look like after!β¨οΈ
β¨οΈNot every molt is successful, unfortunately. This is a stressful process to go through for your spider. Genetics and hydration are two major factors when it comes to success. Although, we don't know all the reasons why spiders mismolt at this time. We do know that overfeeding your spider can cause them to get stuck. The feeding guide is very important for knowing when or when not to offer your spider food.β¨οΈ
β¨οΈIf you have any additional questions about molting, please feel free to reach out to us or leave a comment!β¨οΈ
