Jelly says Happy Mother's Day to all you spoody parents!
Jelly giving her first Mother's Day speech.
Forbidden Blueberries
Caribena Versicolor slings after their recent molt from nymph to sling. This eggsac has been so stressful. I unfortunately had to pull early due to the mother’s abandonment of it and the eggs and nymphs were dying left right and centre. Almost half of the sac I lost and this is what managed to make it from over 100 slings. The last count there was just over 80 but I lost several more after the last count. These babies seem healthy but I’ll be keeping a close eye on them and will give them several feeds before finding some of them their new homes. Versicolors are my favourite slings. They are just so beautiful and majestic with their blue colour
Jelly is a very unique spider. She has been stuck in i7 since November. Not one single molt.
She does not have an epygynum, and hasn't gone gravid so she has not matured either.
We are working with a breeder and an arachnid researcher on what may be going on, but she has been a mystery since day 1, including her unique colouring.
As of now, you can see she is as spicy as ever, but she is no longer sticking to the plexiglass. While her enclosure is already disability friendly, I wanted to add more levels and grips to hopefully prevent any dangerous falls.
I give the wolfie 10/10 for his dance moves and 0/10 for knowing what ladies of his species look like
Jelly's new favourite walk. My spooder is broken.
