  • sling shed????

    just checked on my bros B. albopilosum sling it has been due to shed for the past week as it had "all the signs".
    I checked under the cork bark and to me it looks bigger and slightly hairier but no sign of a skin. Do spiders sometimes get rid of thier skin? If so how? And do I atempt to feed it as it may not have shed??
    Advice would be much appreciated

    Sometimes the shed skins of slings can be hard to spot - small, tucked into a corner (or at the bottom of a burrow), partly buried, rolled up in a tangled brown ball that resembles a bit of substrate and largely unrecognisable as the shape of a spider, etc.
    If it definitely looks bigger and hairier then I think it's had a successful moult. And B. albopilosum slings should darken up and start eating again very soon. Has it darkened up yet? Give it a couple of days to be on the safe side.
