    Moult Question

    My Ceratogyrus bechuanicus has just turned on to its back to moult. First one i will actually get to watch happen for quite some time.

    Anyway, as can be seen from the picture below it has decided to do so inside one of its web tubes.



    With it in that position i cant see how it will be able to push the exuvium off as it will press in to the web above. Should i cut the web to give it space? It would make sense, but i dont want to disturb it if i dont have to.

    To be honest Greg, I would leave it alone where it has decided to molt for itself, they are generally pretty good at picking their spots correctly, by trying to cut the web you are more likely to do more harm than good by disturbing your spider.

    All the best,

    Mike.
