Euathlus truculentus sling successful moult

[Jennifer Todd]

I'm really pleased, my Euathlus truculentus sling successfully moulted last night, and I even got to see it flip back over. This poor little sling started to look a bit flaky a few weeks ago and one night I even thought it looked like it was going to die. I started off keeping this sling at room temp with the same amount of moisture as my B smithi slings. James Box wrote in another thread that E truculentus slings don't do very well being kept as humid as other slings so I dropped the humidity, thanks for that information James. I will let it harden up now and offer food in a couple of days.

Hi Ian

They are lovely-heres a picture of my adult,the colours are amazing in the light and they have a very calm temperment.

Your adult is very pretty Daniel.

My sling is recovering nicely, started climbing again but the fangs are not that dark yet.

[Daniel Richardson]

Yeah they do love climbing,mine scares the hell out of me!!! I've aranged all the tank so if she does climb and fall,she will land on something soft-not had any yet tho!!

[James Box]

great stuff! do keep a bit of an eye on it, it may be a little thirsty after the moult, but should be ok til you can feed it.
one of mine moulted again and the other two last i saw were working up to it!
tis the season
