We got our sling last tuesday, and for the past nearly week she has been holed up in her hide, havin pushed some substrate in front of it and webbed up a lot inside it (which I was amazed by, didnt even think 2nd instars could do that!
Well, I couldnt see her, but didnt want to poke around in case she was moulting. She's been there around 6 days. Today she reappeared!!!
Problem is I didnt get a chance to measure her before she went into hiding and only had her for a few days before that so can remember properly what she was like then.
She looks longer, but almost skinnier and the dark coloured bits on her look shinier. Do we think she was moulting? Or have I imagined the difference in appearance cos I want her to have moulted?
I daren't disturb her for a few days yet, so cant poke around in her hide to find a moult!
