Still no molt for me, rehoused him/her into one of my new plexiglass enclosures I made(made an extra small one cause I really want to be able to see this T!) yesterday! I really think it is pre-molt but I'll let you know.

I'll also post some pics of the enclosures a bit later today...without a macro-lens...just plain old "mik en druk" :woohoo:

Hi Nero

Hope it happens soon.
Mine occurred the day after I rehoused him.

I read on the arachnoboards last night that the one guys Pokie molted soon after rehousing everytime it was in pre-molt for a long time. so it might be their "thing".

My sling is very visible, but I reckon I might have made the space inside a bit tight for my forceps. I struggle to remove the left over food items. Not they he leaves much of it mind you, but still.
I will need to make it more serviceable.

Not to worry Nero,

Mine from Cerat haven't molted yet either. They are out on their cork bark and somewhat active though. I can see their colours darkening so I think they are close to molting but I will have to wait and see.

I seriously think that the lower winter temps have something to do with it. When I first got mine they were ferocious eaters. The poor crickets didn't even touch the substrate before they were snatched up and eaten.

But lately I offer them food items and maybe one of the three will eat and the other two I need to remove the alive food items the next day. I don't know if this is due to pre-molt or the colder weather, but I have noticed the same effects on all my T's lately.

They all seem to eat only once a week at the moment, any more than that and I have to remove uneaten food items the following day.
