One of my Lasiodora Parahybana has made a sort of hammock between her flower pot hide and the side of her tank. The bottom of this 'hammock' is touching the floor of the substrate. The bit touching the substrate is quite wide actually. She is about 3 inches at the mo and her abdomen is very large, about 5 times the size of her carapace. I have had her for about 2-3 months or so. Se has only eaten about 3 crix, within the first 10 days or so of having her. I have only had slings moult before, one of which was a GBB who made a sort of hammock too, but as GBB's have loads of web, I can't tell if it was the same.
Could this be a moulting mat? If she is about to moult, is she likely to grow much? Mine slings have all grown considerably, but I wondered if her growth would be more as she is a bigger sp. Will her moult take longer than slings?
more than likely a moult mat. my first thought was a cuckoon for a egg sack but she would have to be adult.
how old is she ?
I don't know how old she is. She hasn't moulted since I had her. I wouldn't have thought she is very old as I know Para's can get to 10 inches and she's only about 3 inches so....

Nerves and excitement!
ahhh will be a moult mat then. something to stick to while there upside down lol
Any idea how long it might be before she moults after making the mat? I'm sure the mat wasn't there yesterday. She was by the side of the tank as usual yesterday, but since I've noticed mat, she's just sitting in it!
