  • C crawshayi sling saga continues...

    tonight, in the midst of showing off my zoo to some visitors, i noticed my little C crawshayi sling, which some may remember a month or two ago was languishing but managed to nurse it back to health with the sage advice of Louise, was again acting strangely, slightly curly-legged. i thought oh no! might have to tend to it night and day for a week again, and this time not be so lucky...
    well i had to go out this evening, but asked my housemate to water it, which he kindly did.
    i rushed on the way back home, eager to start the treatment. when i opened its jar, i had such a shock! the little legend had moulted! it is now stretching out its new cuticle. i should frame the exuvium after the stress this thing has put me through
    needless to say, i'm well chuffed!
    PS, sorry...yes, this is a "hey, my spider just moulted" thread, but due to the adventures i've already had with this one, i had to post a celebratory thread thanks for the patience of anyone reading

          thanks Louise i think he was about an inch across before, and now about an inch and a half, so half an inch's growth, though he's still hardening.

              thanks Louise! i'm not sure my bad luck is over, but it is nice to have it balanced out. this is one step closer to maturity, and so far so good
