poecilotheria ages to moult!

[John chambers]

Hello.

my pendersenia has been hiding away for over a month and I'm wondering is this normal?
Just how long does a pokie take ?

I've kept an eye on her and she just turns around and I've not fed as the last cricket I put in I had to remove.. uneaten.

A pokie moulting takes about as long as it wants and it doesnt moult to anyones timetablebut its own.

Some adults may hide away for several months before the moult and for several after as well.

I would just ignore her until she comes out which may be next week or it may be in the new year LOL


As a point of interest your pokie is a pederseni not a pendersenia !

wait until its adult and by all accounts it should be moulting and then 6 months later youre still waiting and...nothing, just more waiting, lol
