How's it going? Since the last post 2 days ago there have been 6 new molts. Things are really starting to pop again - literally. LOL. They all are looking great.
On another note, about a month ago, I bought 2 Green Bottle Blues, Chromatapelma cyanopubescens. At first, they were doing well. Then I noticed 1 was walking kinda drunkenly. I increased the humidity, and it did better for a while then reverted back to the odd drunken disabled walking. Then the other started showing similar signs. I moved them to much larger containers. The healthier of the 2 now seems normal. The first to fall ill has been in a death curl for several days. I have been holding out on calling it quits. Yesterday I wasn't sure if it was actually attempting to move, or if it was my imagination. To day, when I open the container, it definitely moved a leg. I am hoping that whatever was the problem will be overcome. I am leaning towards a mold problem. I did find a small spot of mold on the rim of the container when I was removing it. Keep your fingers crossed.
