On Friday morning I noticed my B. smithi was moulting so off to work I went expecting a new spider when I returned. Unforuntately it seems it didn't make it and seems to have got stuck in the moult somehow. Its about 1cm so hard to see clearly but I can see 1 mite - not sure how as the coir substrate is dry and no water bowl. However I also found a cricket, about 3/4 cm hiding under a small stick so perhaps that has some bearing.
Last night my tiny A. versicolor moulted and everything looked fine. She decided to moult just off the ground and remained with the exuvium. Today she's still there so I've provided a good spraying of water but she looks fairly inactive and almost in a death curl. Should I leave her or feed her or remove her? She's tiny, less than a cm.
Both are kept in the loft room where temperatues are 70-85.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
