Yay! My Avicularia Versicolor sling has finished her first molt for me after having her/him for only 2 weeks
Btw, this is my first :T: molt ever
This is her/him now.

Just out of curiousity what's a sling? A juvenile megalomorph spider?

Real adorable in a mass abundance too.. this was a fun egg hatching! 129 total..

That last pic is really amazing. How often must you feed each individual (every week)? I can hardly imagine the labor if you have multiple egg cases laid around the same time ...

At that time I had 4 different sacs hatch out. About 125 slings avg. with each egg sac. Fed every sling individually twice a week. Figure.. 4-6 hours of total labor just feeding the slings alone. That was just about at my peak of breeding.

OMG, now there is a full time job

You have those Geroldi's breeding yet ? I want to be at the top of that list.

they are a ways off.. 2 of them did molt last week though! Which makes today feeding day.

It was my full time job at the time..

I found one of them dead today. It got stuck while trying to molt. May have been my fault for not keeping the humidity a bit higher during this dry spell.

The other TWO are doing fantastic. Freshly molted and eating just fine.
