lovely spiders scabs - got a bit of a soft spot for them - we had a lot at one time, used to raise baby ones for a bloke in scotland and then ship them back when they were a bit older - took hours to feed them and used to get hatchling crickets in the post and have to use a insect tube sucky thing to pick them up- not good when you get one in the mouth. Had some cobalt blue babies that were a devil to feed - the minute you opened the film pot they would be out crawling over you and they jumped too - used to leave them til last - had a few escape when feeding time was up.............. fascinating to watch the moulting process whcih is the point of my reply but thought i would share the spider history with you as well will get hubby to dig out some pics, got some nice ones of a moult happening too
we had a spider fall once (was climbing up the side of the viv, landed on a peice of bark awkwardly and start to 'bleed' - we covered the wound with some cornflour - no need for water as the haemolyph fluid blends with it and it dries to form a crust - removed at the next moult if not before - but it does make the spider look a little like an iced bun for a bit..............
glad yours is ok, a spray during a moult always helps
i love the red knees after a moult the colours are so rich
