Tonight, when I got home from work, I sat down to go through the babies containers. Yesterday, I only fed a few that didn't eat at the previous feeding. So, tonight was primarily a review to make sure everyone was OK and to remove any leftover from the few I did try to get to eat. Everyone was alive, however there are 2 that I'm a little concerned about. They seem rather skittish and while they don't run wildly around, it's as if they are afraid to go anywhere. I know they have all lain down webbing in their containers, eventhough I can't see it, and its as if these two, when they take quick steps, that they are getting stuck in or are startled by the webbing...or something. I hope they are ok tomorrow. Tomorrow is feeding day. Anyway, on a brighter note, I have a great picture to share.

This is a great sight for me. Note the darkened patch on this one's opisthosoma/abdomen? That is an indication that it's getting close to molting. I am so excited! This will be the FIRST of these guys to molt since I have had them. We all know that the molting process is the most crucial time for them and many die  when everything doesn't go just right, much the same as when women give birth. I will update you all tomorrow. The abdomen will turn completely dark like that spot before it happens. It'll be interesting to see if it's hungry tomorrow.
  As you can see in the above photo, I have been allowing the containers to dry out, but have been adding drops of bottled water to keep some moisture in the containers.  Some containers are drying out faster than others. I can only assume that some of the coconut coir wasdamper than other. At any rate, tonight, I was watching to try to see if the babies in the drier containers were hanging out closer to the damp substrate or not. On at least 2 of them, they did appear to be staying on the dampened substrate, but some of the others were on the dry substrate. Is it a coincidence or not? They have no other water source in these tiny containers. Well, that is all I have for now. Hasta manana amigos.
