Well, mine are still all showing a nice and shiny abdomen but none of the three have moulted yet.

I am beginning to worry a bit about them :( I will just have to be patient and see what happens.

I noticed some quick molting out of mine soon after adding heat and extra humidity.

What setup do you have for them with regards to heating and humidity?

I am not heating the enclosures directly, they are too small and I will only end up cooking the poor slings if I try to heat them directly.

I use a thermostat controlled heater in the room which keeps room temperature between 15 and 20 degrees on average at the moment.

The slings enclosures are about 10cm x 10cm x 10cm and there is enough humidity to condense a bit on the inside of their enclosures. I keep the slings very well hydrated without soaking the substrate, there is usually a drop or two of water forming on the roof of their enclosures.

I have also noticed that they aren't eating anymore so I am hoping they are in pre-moult. I guess I will know within the next week or so, but I am feeling slightly left-behind since it seems everyone else's slings from Cerat's brood have moulted once or twice :(

Inside my P ornata's enclosure it varies between 22 - 24 degrees Celsius for reference.
