spider shed again

30-12-06, 02:43 PM

hi all

i was wondering if it is normal for a p.murinus to shed 2 weeks after it last shed??

it shed last night and is now about 1/2" legspan, i was so suprised as it only shed 2 weeks ago.

its colours and patterns are starting to look really good now. its temperment is really quite good, it is quite calm and is fine with me looking in his tub reularly.

that is a fast shed dont know how unusual it is though

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Yes, it can happen (as you've discovered) when conditions are right and food is plentiful.
